What if you get a promotion like this but you don't want all the hassle and all the fuss from monks? Are you entitled to refuse them? And are you entitled to refuse a warcriminal like Shavendra attending the ceremony?

President is surrounded by Army officers. No one will be able to stop the Jana Ralla that may surface sooner than later the way things are happening
