I agree with Thaha payen. Try recalling what army has done to Nepal, all it has done is play Mangal dhun and move khukri infrnt of the King. When comes kill nepalis and r-pe nepalese women. Army has been MAGI KHANE BHADO of the Ranas. All the Ranas are getting free workers for their house. Have you not been reading bout all bhanche and luga dhune manchhe for Jarnels and Karnels. Well thats what the use of army is? Nepaliese army should live up and start realizing it is no longer Royal Army nor it is a bjtch for the Ranas and Thapas. Prachanda did good to humiliate army at the prime spot. It was high time the people get hired in army and had to work at house of all the journels and kernels. Man Ranas were ruling the army directly and all these learneds from all around speak in favor ofthe Ranas. Every one saw the marriage of the daughter of Pyare how he mobilized army for his daughter's wedding, does it not prove the army was working for person particular? Who is Pyar jung thapa to mobilize arny for his daughter's wedding? Any royalist have answer for this? Prachanda is right. NA should be reduced to less than 20000, atleast arny wont have to go cook food and wash clothes of the ranas and thapas. Also it reduces the risk of army making a coup. Until the NA is reduced to 20000, the Maoists are not gonna let the arms down. Obviously if they lay the arms down and army captures the government, its gonna be a rediculous mistake. Prachanda is smart enough to realize this and he is trying to avoid this situation. NA sould be cut in power for sure, to stop this corruption. All the money from army working for the UN Peace keeper go the pocket ofthese ranas and shahs and thapas. Army has been a chief source of income for these fewdals. if the army is cut down then this source will also be closed. Army is major problem for Nepal. It shoudl be brought down to less than 20000.
