Chief of Army Staff Rookmangud Katawal, who has been sacked by the
government, has reportedly refused to accept the cabinet letter on his
sacking.


Government's chief secretary Bhoj Raj Ghimire handed over the sack letter
to Katawal soon after the cabinet decision, but he refused to accept it,
describing the decision as unconstitutional, it has been learnt. He said
he would consult his lawyers on the government decision.

Both Katawal and Lt. General Kul Bahadur Khadka were at the Prime
Minister's official residence in Baluwatar when the cabinet meeting took
the decision.


Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal had held separate and joint meetings
with both the Generals prior to the cabinet meeting, which was boycotted
by the allies.


Meanwhile, a meeting of NA generals called by Katawal is underway at the
headquarters, discussing the cabinet decision and its repercussions. nepalnews.com mk May 03 09
