Government needs to build consensus for the merger of the armies
The Maoist government’s move to merge its guerrilla fighters with the Nepal Army has left the country deeply divided. Many fear this will politicise the army including the Army Chief, Rukmangad Katuwal himself. Clearly, Katuwal is unhappy with the panel set up by the four-month old Maoist-led government, which has been tasked to oversee the merger logistics. If it does take place, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and the Nepal Army (NA) – which have skirmished fiercely during the decade-long guerrilla war – are bound to clash in various ways. Critics agree, and point out to the nearly 13,000 people who were wiped out in the civil war that ended only in 2006.
The thousands of NA and PLA cadres who lost their family members in that prolonged war of attrition continue to be virtual antagonists. And even those who were not directly affected feel that having such unlikely bedfellows in the armed forces is bound to hurt Nepal's unity.
