Unified CPN (Maoist), at the time ongoing peace process, has celebrated 14th anniversary of people's war (PW) and simultaneously People's Liberation Army (PLA) has celebrated 8th PLA Day at Hattikhor satellite Cantonment. These historic celebrations are for accelerating the peace process to build a New Nepal. While the past celebrations were held under the leadership of the party only, this celebration has been accomplished under the chief guest of the executive chief of the State, premier Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda'. As the PW and PLA have been recognized by the government, the role and responsibility has also been changed. The responsibility of PLA has been to succeed the peace process. It means that the Role and responsibility of the warriors and PLA has been to involve in the struggle for the peace. Now, the party, and its leadership, is in the government with a big responsibility to write a new constitution. Pointing out the intensive struggle between progressive and regressive forces, party chairman Prime Minister Prachanda requested people to be aware of armed criminal gangsters. At present, as the reactionary elements are trying to abort the peace process and the process of drafting a new constitution, Prachanda has said, "I repeat our commitment on the issue of fusion and rehabilitation of PLA both in the national security policy and national security sector according to the expectation of the people and the necessity of the country."He declared that PLA will not be directly under the Unified CPN (Maoist) here after. Unified Maoist has a new responsibility to legalize and fuse PLA by bringing it under Army Integration Special Committee (AISC). He added, "PLA will be directly under the leadership of AISC. Theoretically, PLA is already under it. We will be connected for a long time contemplatively that is another thing. However, PLA will not be under unified CPN (Maoist) anymore, morally and theoretically." Because of the changed situation, the changed role and the responsibility of PLA should be ready to guarantee the victory of struggle for peace. For that, premier Prachanda has stressed, "PLA should follow and implement the directives of AISC unconditionally." There are many challenges in front of the Maoist-led government to write new constitution on time. Criminal elements and gangsters are trying to spread the communal violence all over the country. The Maoist-led government should make united front to fight and get victory over the status quo and regression
