The military's analysis is that if they had intervened without a clear order from the executive branch and had more civilians died on the 24th, it would have been difficult to handle the situation.

The Nepal Army has stated that it played a restrained role in accordance with the letter and spirit of the constitution during the Gen-G protests on Bhadra 23 and 24 and the subsequent unrest.
The analysis made public by the military headquarters states that the country was at high risk during those days and that preventing further human losses was the army's main goal.
As the situation became more chaotic on Bhadra 24, the army said that protecting the lives of dignitaries, diplomats and ordinary people became the army's first responsibility.
The army also claimed that it followed constitutional dignity by not interfering in internal security without a clear decision from the executive. 'This is also the Nepali Army's respect for the constitution and democratic system of governance. If the army had intervened without a clear order from the executive and more civilians had died on Bhadra 24, it would have been difficult to handle the situation. The army would have been blamed for the fact that it mobilized itself without an order,' the army said.
The army says that it played a limited but necessary role in rescue, humanitarian assistance and protection of sensitive areas during the crisis. It has also clarified that the decision made by prioritizing human life over physical infrastructure was appropriate. The army has also reminded the public of its experience in providing immediate assistance and rescue to the general public in difficult situations.
The army has clarified that it has facilitated an environment of dialogue and coordination among stakeholders to prevent the situation from deteriorating further amid the political turmoil following the Gen-G movement, and that it has not promoted any political agenda and has no desire to interfere in power. The army says that while the decision-making power is limited to the executive branch and the president, the army has fully respected that.
