Restructuring the security sector

Wagle must be thanked for touching the tail of the tiger despite the attendant risks.

Celebrity parliamentarian Swarnim Wagle artfully carved his earlier statement about rightsizing the Nepali Army , sliced straight sentences into thin strips, cut them into ingestible pieces, and then swallowed them raw. It is not yet clear whether he has sought an audience with the Chief of the Army Staff General Prabhu Ram Sharma to clarify his position or has been called by the Bhadrakali brass for a detailed explanation, but Wagle has taken a 180-degree turn from his interpretation of recent developments in Sri Lanka, which has announced reducing its military strength to half by 2030, and their lessons for Nepal.
