Can anyone expect a credible security arrangment for CA election if the YCL are used along with Nepal Police to provide security. Home Minister Sitaula's plan to recruit 80,000 security personnel for CA election seems to be aiming to recruit YCL for that purpose. See the news clip below: Use YCL to provide security for CA election, says Prachanda Maoist chairman Prachanda has said that using only the Armed Police Force (APF) to provide security for the Constituent Assembly (CA) elections would be 'suicidal.' He said that Maoist-affiliated Young Communist League (YCL) should also be mobilised alongside the APF for the purpose. Talking to reporters in Butwal on Monday morning, Prachanda claimed that even former US president Jimmy Carter – during his visit to Nepal last month – had suggested using YCL and police together. Prachanda conceded that his party's relation with UNMIN had soured a bit in recent weeks over the second stage verification of PLA. He said he suspects there is conspiracy not to integrate PLA into Nepali Army (NA). Prachanda also slammed the government for allocating budget to the King. nepalnews.com sd Jul 16 07
