prachanda actually said he wants to reduce it to 10000 or 20000. Another maoist contradicts the statement by saying all the rebels should be included in the nepal army. Just think if anybody has half the power of nepal army. How strong he would be . if the army is already more than requrired then whats the use of enrolling new army from maoist. This is a dangerous ploy. and chuparustam if nepal army is well trained and equipped then whats the use of enrolling maoist rebel. And is prachanda so dumb that he wants to decrease a well trained nepal army and give that place to not so much well trained weaker maoist. Whats his motive there. Dont you think that giving chances to not so well trained person makes nepal army weaker. He wants to have a stronghold on nepal army and that is the fact. this is just the start and i know his demands will not stop here.
