Chairman of CPN-UML Jhalanath Khanal has said that he could not offer more than the position of major to the combatants according to the news posted on the website of Nagariknews.com.
These NC and CPN-UML guys have been deadly against giving any positions to the combatants other than the foot soldiers demanding the army integration following the seven-point deal they had reached with the UCPN-Maoist. Now, they have offered the positions of colonel and major indicating the Maoists have taken strong stand on securing such high positions in the Nepal Army.
