Inseconline.org reports that the human right activists have expressed serious concern over the political parties' agreement to give blanket amnesty to perpetrators of human rights violations. They expressed their dissatisfaction after leaders of political parties agreed to keep a provision in the proposed Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) that the final decision to give amnesty to the perpetrators of human rights violations committed during the conflict rests on the victims. Top leaders of political parties agreed on April 1 to remove the list of non-pardonable crimes of the proposed TRC bill.

Moreover, as growing intra-party rift and rivalry threatens to split the ruling Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M), party chairman, Pushpa Kamal Dahal aka Prachanda termed as “meaningless” the dissent and opposition expressed by senior vice-chairman Mohan Baidya-led radical faction by launching a campaign against party’s establishment faction. Dahal was referring to the signature campaign all set to be launched by the radical faction in all 240 electoral constituencies to pressurise the political parties to draft a “pro-people” constitution that is “anti-feudal. Dahal claimed that Baidya and leaders close to him can’t possibly split the party and even if they do manage to do that “their very existence will be at stake.”

Nepal News reports that the Vice President Paramananda Jha on April 2 expressed doubts about the completion of the constitution by May 27 and suggested the political parties to start discussion on the alternatives. He said the parties would be wise to start discussing the alternatives considering the situation after May 27 (if the statute is not ready). Jha also argued that there is no point blaming all the 601 Constituent Assembly members for the delay in drafting the constitution, saying, "There may be just ten leaders from the three major parties who are responsible for it." He further said that C A's tenure cannot be extended anymore and that the political leaders should quit the field if they failed to promulgate the constitution. He also said that the focus now should be on the constitution than on peace process.

Meanwhile, Unified Communist Party of India-Maoist (UCPN-M) hard-line faction led by vice chairman Mohan Baidya on April 3 accused party chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal aka Prachanda of showing monopolistic behaviour by imposing personal decisions and creating unnecessary hype over intra-party rift, reports Nepal News. Issuing a joint press release, Mohan Baidya and general secretary general Ram Bahadur Thapa said that the act of the party chairman was the result of intolerant and monopolistic thoughts. “No attention is being paid towards possible conspiracy from reactionary forces while dealing with peace, constitution and army integration issues. Comrades of our own party have viciously attempted to tag us as adversaries of peace and constitution,” said the statement.

The Times of India reports that acting on the inputs provided by India, Nepal Police on April 3 arrested a Vietnamese woman with Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) worth INR 9.8 million at Tribhuwan International Airport in Kathmandu. The consignment-neatly stuffed in high-end liquor bottles was delivered to her at Vietnam by conduits working for Pakistani handlers. To avoid scrutiny she had paid legitimate duty on the liquor. Sources in intelligence agencies here said the woman reached Kathmandu via Bangkok. Her arrest has not only revealed a new modus operandi, but also a new route (Pakistan to Nepal via Vietnam) of pumping FICN into India.

The Army Integration Special Committee (AISC) on April 4 endorsed a time-bound action plan to vacate the cantonments of Peoples, Liberation army (PLA) combatants and hand over the stored weapons to the Nepal Army by April 12, reports Kantipuronline. The technical teams assigned by the AISC will depart to cantonment sites from April 6 and start the process of discharging the combatants who wish to go for retirement from April 9. The cross-party committee, which met in the presence of top brass of the major parties, however, failed to resolve contentious issues of Army integration. Leaders have committed that the next AISC meeting slated for April 8 will forge consensus on mechanism to select combatants to serve in the NA, period of training, rank determination and the structure of general directorate that would integrate the combatants.

The Himalayan Times reports that seven teams of surveyors from the Army Integration Special Committee (AISC) fanned out to PLA cantonments to categories remaining Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) combatants and send them home or the Nepal Army for integration. “Secretariat’s teams of surveyors today left for all seven main PLA cantonments. Some have already reached the camps while others are on their way,” said Deepak Prakash Bhatta, a member of the Secretariat who is leading the survey team to the PLA’s sixth division based in Surkhet. As per the Special Committee’s direction, all teams commence the re-categorisation work April 8. The teams are mandated to reduce the figure of the ex-fighters opting for integration down to 6,500 and send others home with perks and benefits on a par with what fellow combatants who opted for voluntary retirement received in January.

A Standing Committee (SC) meeting of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) held in the presence of PLA commanders on April 8 called for an agreement on the remaining issues of army integration to accelerate the peace process, reports Kantipuronline. The meeting, where leaders from the hard-line camp were not invited, decided to adopt “maximum flexibility” to conclude the integration process. Maoist leaders also decided to hold political parleys to forge consensus on the disputed issues of integration by April 12. A three-party meeting is expected to take place on April 10 to discuss the same issues. Finance Minister and Maoist SC member Barsaman Pun said parties have already decided on rank, but stand divided on when to be conferred the top post on one of the senior PLA commanders. In addition, the UCPN–M leadership, which failed to commence the second scheduled regrouping process on April 8, has told the NC leaders that they would select 5,000 to 6,000 combatants on their own and hand them over to the Nepal Army by April 12. The Maoist leadership, however, was emphatic over one condition that the selected combatants should not be screened in such a way that a significant number of them get disqualified.

In what is being considered a major development in Nepal's peace process, the Nepal Army (NA) has taken control of the Maoist People's Liberation Army (PLA) cantonments, combatants and the weapons stored in containers inside the camps, reports The Hindu. This is in line with a decision taken by the Army Integration Special Committee (AISC) on April 10. NA will now be responsible for the Security of the 15 remaining Maoist cantonments, including its infrastructure. Around 9,700 combatants who have opted for integration remain in these cantonments, and there are over 3,000 weapons in the containers. A little more than 7,000 former fighters who voluntarily retired with cash packages left the camps in mid February, while 12 satellite camps were shut down in March.

Kantipuronline reports that the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal aka Prachanda on April 11 remarked that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) combatants were handed over to the Nepal Army (NA) in haste considering the possible disruption to the integration process. He termed the move to hand over Maoist combatants, their arms and the cantonments to NA a “bold decision”. Dahal remarked that the protests by his party hard-line faction led by senior Vice Chairman Mohan Baidya over the decision to hand over the combatants and arms do not hold water. “The protests by the faction of Kiran ji [Baidya] was part of their responsibility,” said Dahal, hinting at the hardliners. “This [protest] is like their regular job. But, now petty issues should not be bickered over.”

Republica reports that after three days of confusion and delay, the survey teams of the Army Integration Special Committee (AISC) resumed voluntary retirement process from April 13 after the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) directed commanders at cantonments to let the process move forward. "We were asked to resume the process from 1:30 pm today (Friday)," said Balananda Sharma, "Accordingly, the process has been started." But the process was not started at the cantonments in Kailali, Sindhuli and Ilam as the survey team leaders there got the instruction to resume the process late, according to Sharma. "The process will resume in those cantonments from early Saturday morning," Sharma said. Officials involved in the voluntary retirement process said that the combatants who were given voluntary retirement on April 13 left the cantonments immediately as they will not get allowance and food ration from that day onwards. As of the evening of April 13, altogether 638 combatants - 275 combatants at the Shaktikhor cantonment, 160 at Surkhet, 94 at Rolpa and 109 at Nawalparasi – have taken voluntary retirement, according to Sharma.

the ongoing second phase of voluntary retirement process of the combatants belonging to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) so far suggests the number of combatants choosing integration is going to be far less than 6,500—the combatants’ intake number in the Nepal Army (NA) set by the seven-point agreement signed on November 1, reports Kantipuronline. Of the 9,705 combatants who opted for integration during regrouping in November 2011, 4,052 combatants from all the seven PLA division camps chose voluntary retirement as of April 15.

the Communist Party of Nepal- Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) on April 28 came up with a new proposal on State restructuring aimed at countering the UCPN–M stand for 10 States and exerting pressure on the Nepali Congress (NC) to accept the increase in the number of States, reports Kantipuronline. Senior CPN-UML leader Madhav Kumar Nepal presented the new proposal to federate the country into 12 States in the new constitution during a meeting of top leaders of three major parties and Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha (SLMM).

Nepal News reports that the Chief of Army Staff (CoAS) Chhatraman Singh Gurung on April 29 said restructuring of Nepal Army (NA) has become necessary as its current structure is out-dated. He said the institutional structure of NA hasn't been reviewed since 1965 and is hence out-dated and ineffective. "Restructuring as well as democratisation of Nepal Army is also necessary at a time when former Maoist combatants who have chosen integration are all set to join the Army," he said, informing that the strength of the NA, which stood at 18,000 in 1965, has now swelled to 90,000. Restructuring of NA is also needed to ensure that NA develops into a modern professional army, Gurung said.
