NA accused the United Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN) of conniving with UCPN-M to tarnish the image of the NA and prolong its stay beyond September 15, reports Himalayan Times. “The 60-week roadmap of the UNMIN has helped the Maoists to delay the army integration process, and the Maoists seem to be adamant on extending the mandate of the UNMIN at any cost. It has helped weaken the position of NA. The so-called roadmap is nothing but its latent desire to extend its stay in Nepal. This shows the underlying common interests of the Maoists and the UNMIN in Nepali peace process. It proves that the UNMIN’s role has been serving the interests of the UCPN-Maoist,” a confidential paper from NA Headquarter stated.
