Govt trying to bring bureaucracy under party control: Deuba

Sher Bahadur DeubaKathmandu, December 31

Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba has accused the ruling party of trying to bring the bureucracy under the control of the NCP.

Talking to mediapersons on the sidelines of the Melmilap Day programee in Kathmandu, Deuba said that the government’s move signals towards its intent to establish autocratic rule in the country.

“The government is trying to become autocratic. It wants to bring the bureaucracy under the party’s control. In the days to come, it might attempt to do the same with the police and army. We want a neutral army and police, but the government shows signs that it wants to turn autocratic.”

Deuba held that his party was always in favour of national unity. “But this government does not want national unity, it wants to impose an authoritarian rule,” he added.
