The hard-line faction of the Maoist party has demanded a probe into the April 10 decision of the Special Committee to bring Maoist combatants under the control of the national army through its mobilisation in PLA cantonments.
Addressing a meeting of the parliamentary State Affairs Committee (SAC) on Friday, Maoist lawmaker Pampha Bhusal claimed that the committee's decision was unconstitutional as it had not been endorsed by the National Security Council or the President.
“Since the government has not fulfilled the constitutional provision, I urge the SAC to investigate the matter,” Bhusal said. The Baidya faction has said the decision is against the constitutional provision. At the meeting, CPN-UML lawmakers said the issue raised by Bhusal was a serious one but there should be a study to see if it is within the SAC's jurisdiction. SAC Chairman Ram Nath Dhakal said they will discuss the issue with experts before taking a decision.
