TANAHU, Jan 15: Finance Minister Barshaman Pun made it clear that cases related to decade-long insurgency should be addressed through Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC).



"The cases related to journalist Dekendra Thapa murder and arrest of Nepal Army colonel Kumar Lama in London should be addressed through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission," Pun said while addressing a district convention of his party, UCPN (Maoist) in Tanahu, Tuesday. [break]



He also asked everyone to take an initiative to endorse an ordinance related to formation of TRC which is pending at the president’s office.



Referring that around 32 countries have already formed TRC, the minister said the TRC will only be able to compensate the victim’s family and book those found guilty of crimes during insurgency.



"There are various critical cases related to Dailekh, Madi, Dorabha and Khara,” he added,” All these cases should be addressed through the commission."
