"High-level civil servants and police officials not discharging their duties as per the laws could be dumped," Rawal said while speaking at a function in Banepa.
He said his ministry would work as per the existing rules and regulations and would not tolerate pressure from others. He requested political party cadres to rid themselves of the mentality that they can break the law and still go scot-free. "No one from any political party would go scot-free after committing a crime," he said.
He argued that the Maoists are yet to detach themselves from the culture of violence. "On the one hand they talk of civilian supremacy and are highlighting the importance of guns on the other. This is contradictory," he said. "Civilian supremacy would not be established just by holding guns," he said, "The Maoists should rather return resized property and help the discharge process for disqualified combatants."
He called on the Maoists to let the process of integration and rehabilitation of the Maoist army move ahead if they are really concerned about civilian supremacy.
"If the country could have gone republican only through the guns held by the Maoists, why did we need the 19-day mass movement?" he said. He was of the opinion that guns alone cannot bring the desired change in the country.
He argued that it was quite natural for the Maoists party to see the current government as illegitimate as the behavior and mentality of the Maoists are wrongful. He argued that the Maoists are obstructing parliamentary proceedings for fear that the amount allocated for the grassroots in the current budget would make the government popular.
The home minister also claimed that those opposing the special security plan are involved in violent activities. He said that the security situation in the hills and plains has improved massively following implementation of the special security plan. Rawal claimed that the government would not collapse until the new constitution is written.
