KATHMANDU, DEC 10 -
Nearly two dozen ex-Maoist combatants who were transferred to the Young Communist League (YCL) at the outset of the peace process have said they have been discriminated against by the party leadership.
Issuing a statement on Friday, they have demanded equal perks and treatment as enjoyed by the Maoist combatants in the ongoing integration and rehabilitation process.
“The integration process has reached its final stage but we are kept in the dark. Our paramilitary structure has been dismantled, about which we have a strong reservation,” the statement reads.
They also submitted a memorandum to Maoist party Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal on Friday. Some days ago, Dahal had said that addressing the fate of some YCL members was a very important task for the party.
They claimed that they were deprived of the money that was collected in their name. The Maoists had collected Rs 1,000 from each combatant to support those who had been transferred to the YCL.
Brigade Commissioners Uma Bhujel, Dilip Prajapati, Yubaraj Acharya, Bhagat Badawal, Jhak Bahadur Malla and Gurendra Gharti Magar as well as Brigade Commanders Dhurba Budathoki, Kiran Rai, Dhurba Ghimire, India Angawa and Dewan Kirati, among others, have demanded that the party leadership guarantee them a good future.
