The government is preparing to distribute Rs 2 billion to the family of Maoist combatants who were killed and disappeared during the conflict. Finance Minister Bharat Mohan Adhikari has allocated the amount under the Peace and Reconstruction Ministry after being pressurised by the Maoists. The families will receive Rs 200 thousand each. Fearing protests from the opposing parties, Adhikari allocated the money discreetly under the Peace Ministry not mentioning it in the budget speech. Of the Rs 9.68 billion allocated for the Peace Ministry, Rs 2 billion has been set aside for this purpose. Finance secretary Krishna Hari Banskota and other officials involved in budget drafting had suggested that distributing money to individuals would mean siphoning money from development, Adhikari forced the program into the budget.

Wow 200k for the family of Maoist combatants who were killed and disappeared during the conflict and what about the family members of our Armed Forces who fought for the country and gave their lives, limbs and other sacrifice they made during that tough times. Some of might have post traumatic stress disorder coz of the war and their valuable time and effort to save public ????

Who will talk about that ?

I havnt heard or seen any news and articles around the media and we dont have any system to respect our heroes like other countries.Even public are always ahead in their criticism.

If the armed forces wasnt there what would have happend to all of us anybody thought about it. Maoist would never come to the table if Armed Forces wasnt there to defeat them

Have some respect to our National Heros!!!!
