KATHMANDU: Naya Shakti Party Nepal Coordinator Dr Baburam Bhattarai has objected to the provision that allows the prime minister to directly mobilize the Nepal Army.
Talking to journalists in the capital on Tuesday, Bhattarai said that the provision of direct army mobilization by the prime minister will run risk of coup.
The bill has been tabled in the parliament with a provision that allows the prime minister to mobilize army in case the meeting of security council could not hold its meeting at the time of necessity following approval by the president.
The security council is comprised of prime minister, defense minister and chief of army staff.
