]]> Nepal’s new Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal says his predecessor’s move to sack the army chief was a mistake.

Mr Nepal was speaking to the BBC in his first interview since taking office.

The general was sacked by the previous government but the move was blocked by the president, prompting Maoist leader Prachanda to resign as prime minister.

Mr Nepal has the support of 22 of the 24 parties in parliament. The Maoists remain the largest party, with 40% of seats following last year’s elections.

‘No confusion’

Prime Minister Nepal said he would take a formal decision regarding the sacked army chief as soon as his cabinet was finalised.
