Biratnagar,25 March:Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence, Ishwar Pokhrel, has said the army will be mobilized through a decision of a meeting of the National Security Council alone.
Talking briefly to journalists at Biratnagar airport today, he said the army would be mobilized after the President approves a proposal for the same brought by the Prime Minister in the capacity of the Chair of the Council and endorsed by the meeting of the Council of Ministers, in the case the Council’s meeting cannot take place.
Stating that such proposal has to be approved by the House of Representatives a month after the army mobilization, Defence Minister Pokhrel said it was wrong to say that the army mobilization takes place only through Prime Minister’s lone decision.
