DHANGADI, APR 14 -

Former Nepal Army (NA) chief Rookmangud Katawal is planning a political career for himself.

Katawal is scheduled to make a formal announcement of his political journey and unveil his party dubbed the Samyukta Rastriya Manch on May 13 at a function that will be held in Dhangadi.

Katawal has cobbled together various known and unknown outfits and individuals from across the country, including police deserters, former Maoists and royalists, to form the party.

Chandra Sawad of the committee preparing for the May 13 function said at a press meet on Wednesday that the party was formed with the objectives of safeguarding national sovereignty and nationalism; advocating peace and development, and launching a national campaign for the protection of the country and democracy.

The Katawal-led Samyukta Rastriya Manch “is needed,” Saud said, “as the present political parties proved incompetent in the peace and constitution writing processes.”

He said that the country needs another popularly mandated force and that the Katwal-led party aspires to become that.
