Home Minister Proves His Incompetence
By KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
May 1, 2010: speaking to the anchor of the state-run Radio Nepal, Home Minister Bhim Rawal has said that he will turn over the management of the security of the sensitive areas to the Nepal Army during the UCPN-Maoist’s peaceful movement for ‘peace and constitution’ in the coming days starting on May 2, 2010.
Talking to the reporters at the press conference held on April 30, 2010, the Nepal Police have said that they have made a three-layer of the security arrangement: the front layer is regular police force, then the second layer is riot police and the third layer is the armed police force. The Police have said that they are competent very much to manage the peaceful rallies.
Mr. Rawal has made a special security plan and has added 16,000 new recruits to the Nepal Police under his special security plan. The question is why he needs to turn over the security to the Nepal Army, and why his police force cannot manage the peaceful rallies and so on if he is competent enough to put all the police force to work. There is something rather going fishy here, in the past there were some cases that the Home Minister used to deploy the police in civil dress to join the peaceful demonstrators and then the police in civil dress throw stones at the police for creating violence, and the Maoists’ cadres have stopped the police doing such things.
Concerning the intention of Home Minister to deploy the Nepal Army for managing the peaceful rallies, news analysts believe that Mr. Rawal has a bad intention of killing innocent people, as the Nepal Army has earned the reputation of killing innocent and unarmed people and then labeling them as the armed people encountered in the shootouts.
So, the Home Minister of the Madhav government has clearly indicated that he is for going head-on confrontation with the demonstrators of the Maoists’ movement for ‘peace and constitution’.
