Nepal Army Chief of Staff Ashok Raj Sigdel has said that the Nepali Army is not an organization that will automatically take to the streets. He said this in a statement given to the commission formed to investigate the incident that took place during the Gen-G movement.
'The Nepali Army is not an organization that will automatically take to the streets, but there is a provision that it will be mobilized only on the recommendation of the Council of Ministers of the Government of Nepal and the decision of the President after the constitutional and legal process is completed,' he said.
'By the time the Security Council meeting was held on Bhadra 23, the Home Minister had resigned, the ban on blocked social media had been lifted, and the demands of the protesters were expected to be addressed, and there was no concrete assumption that an unusual situation could arise on the 24th, so no decision or discussion was made about the mobilization of the army,' he said in a statement given to the commission.
