Dec 22, Kathmandu - The Nepali Army has said that it allowed government infrastructure to burn to save lives during the Gen-Z protests that took place on Bhadra 23 and 24.

It has also said that it is the primary responsibility of the responsible body to facilitate an environment of dialogue among stakeholders in crisis management as soon as possible to prevent the situation at that time from deteriorating further.

The Jangi Adda article, which discussed the situation of the then Gen-G movement, states, "Questions are being raised even about the positive efforts of coordination and dialogue made by the army in times of crisis. The army has not put forward any political agenda, nor has it shown any desire to interfere in power. Which is what the current situation has revealed. This fact is proof of the army's democratic commitment."

The army says that criticism is inevitable in a democracy when there are debates from various sides regarding the role of the army and national security in the Gen-G movement and the developments that have developed since then.

The military headquarters also said that it is the democratic right of the people to criticize, praise and warn the state structures, including the army. This, the military headquarters explained, will help these bodies to carry out their responsibilities more effectively.

The military headquarters responded through an article to the criticisms made about the role played by the state's main security organs in overcoming the unimaginable crisis that has befallen the country.
