Game over



There seems to be strong disagreement within the UML about the army case
.
Where is the disagreement? How can it be called disagreement when someone goes against a party's ideology and then sits with an inflated ego and self pride in the name of authority? The party hasn't discussed this issue officially. Also, when one individual makes decisions by himself what is the point of a standing or a central committee?

After the Mahakali treaty, is the issue regarding the army the second biggest conflict within the party?
Without sitting for a formal committee, we cannot say this is such a big conflict. However, with such a sensitive issue like the army we cannot treat it like a game. Those who treat it as such are foolish.

Why do you support Army chief Katawal?
This is not a stance for one person. The army is an institution. You cannot interfere with it. There are three ways in which we need to move ahead: by following the rule of law, democratic behaviour and far-sightedness.

How does an army that is under the government defy the government?
It was the army's responsibility to fill a vacant position. It is not defiance of the order when Katawal asked to extend the term of eight capable generals. Is it defiance when you say that the PLA should not be included in the national games because of pressure from cadres?
