The Unified CPN (Maoist) has demanded for Rs 2 million per head as golden handshake for its combatants wishing to pull out of integration into the army to join politics.

Maoist representatives at the technical committee under the Army Integration Special Committee (AISC) demanded for either Rs 2 million or five to ten Bigahas of land to each combatant voluntarily wishing to join politics, at a meeting Thursday.

Representatives of other political parties refused the Maoist proposal saying the demand was inappropriate as even government employees get less than Rs 0.5 million at the time of retirement.

AISC had delegated its technical committee to prepare proposals about how the government could support the Maoist combatants who wish to join voluntarily politics. nepalnews.com
