On April 23, 2009, Leader of Madheshi People’s Rights Forum and Minister for Agriculture and Cooperatives Jayaprakash Prasad Gupta told the reporters in Biratnagar that the Chief of Army Staff (CoAS) and the Nepal Army need to be under the control of the democratically elected civilian government according to the ‘Gorkhapatra’ of April 24, 2009.
He also said that the government sought the explanations from the CoAS on the matters the CoAS has failed in following the orders of the government, so, it is correct to seek the explanations from the CoAS following the rule of law.
