The PLA will hand over weapons only after army integration concludes procedurally, he said speaking at an interaction Tuesday.[break]
The Maoist party is serious on the peace process and constitution drafting, he said. If other parties try to hatch conspiracies against these crucial tasks, the Maoists will be compelled to go for a revolt, he said.
Replying to a query of journalists, he said that the Maoist party is open to all individuals.
At the program, Nepali Congress leader Arjung Narsingh KC said that his party will not withdraw its prime ministerial candidate unless the integration of PLA fighters, dissolve of YCL´s paramilitary structure and end "the politics of weapons".
Similarly, CPN-UML leader Pradeep Gywali said that the perception that Nepal´s peace process will be trapped after UNMIN´s departure is wrong.
He said that the Maoist party shouldn´t escape from the peace process and statute drafting and go for a revolt. The Maoist leadership is acceptable after the party gives up "the politics of weapons", he said.
