KATHMANDU, DEC 21 - Madhesi Janadhikar Forum-Nepal (MJF-N) Chairman Upendra Yadav has claimed that the government decision to recruit only 3,000 Madhesi youths into the Nepal Army (NA) was just a conspiracy to overshadow the issues of Madhes.
Speaking at an interaction organised in the Capital on Wednesday, the MJF-N chairman demanded that the NA should be made inclusive by recruiting Madhesi youths in a bulk on the basis of population density.
“There would be a stern agitation soon in Madhes as the [recruitment decision] was not made in line with the earlier agreement,” Yadav said.
Accusing the government of reducing the number of Madhesi youths to be recruited in the NA from 10,000 as agreed in the past to 3,000 just to maintain its grip on power, Yadav expressed his doubts that the number could drop to only 300 by the time the agreement is implemented.
He laid stress on the need to put an end to the unitary structure of the NA and formulate the national security policy, and determine the necessity, intention and number of the NA, and establish citizen supremacy prior to the recruitment of the Madhesi youths.
At the same programme, Madhesi Janadhikar Forum-Loktantrik leader and Minister for Law and Justice, Brijesh Kumar Gupta, claimed that the recruitment of Madhesi youths in the NA was not the sole effort of the current government. He added that all the political parties had agreed to make the NA inclusive before the fifth amendment of the Interim Constitution.
