Defence ministry, on Sunday, refuted to the claims that the parliament was taken over by the army insisting that the allegations were in efforts to tarnish the image of the defence force.
The defence ministry had issued a statement to the public stating that the parliament premises were secured for a week upon the Parliament’s request after opposition planned to storm the parliament when there was no scheduled sitting.
The parliament was in lockout for nearly a week, to keep opposition lawmakers out of its premises.
The statement also noted that the defence force had taken action to enforce the law under the Constitution’s mandatory security services to protect democratic institutions.
The ministry also highlighted that spreading such rumours are actions of treachery and condemned those who commit such offences.
