The government has dismissed a news paper report that a movement of troops in 2012 was a possible coup. Talking to reporters outside Parliament Defence Minister A.K.Antony said that it was a routine training programme and there is nothing wrong in it. He said that was the answer he had given in a written statement in parliament.

BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad , however, voiced his serious concern over comments of former DGMO Lt Gen A K Choudhary that there may have been distrust between the Army.
