NA Chief indicates he is against integrating politically indoctrinated combatants


The Chief of Nepali Army (NA) General Rookmangud Katawal has indicated that he is against integrating the politically indoctrinated Maoist combatants into the army.
Talking to reporters at the airport before he left for China, General Katawal said that the NA does not believe in any political 'isms.'
His comments have come in the wake of debates on the integration of Maoist combatants into the NA following the submission of verification report by the UNMIN.
General Katawal further said that the NA, as a professional army, is not guided by any 'political ideology' but only the 'chain of command' system.
He said NA would always fight for the sake of 'peace and stability' in the country.
