Kathmandu, Nov. 15: CPN UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli has said that the police force is now divided into two groups: those who are bearing the brunt of government action and those who are standing by and watching.
Speaking at a meeting of the UML Bagmati Province Committee on Saturday (November 14), Oli said the police force had split into two groups.
“The police were too overzealous. Why were they so eager? What did they expect to get? What have they got now? The police are now divided into two groups. One group is bearing the brunt, while the other is just watching,” he said. “Those who are happy today will be the ones to face the consequences tomorrow. That is how it is.”
Oli accused the government of interfering unnecessarily in the police organization. He said government actions had also left civil servants, entrepreneurs and businesspeople dissatisfied, alongside the police.
He accused the government of acting with political prejudice. He also alleged that he had been arrested on the very day the government was formed as an act of political vendetta.
Oli claimed that police had used excessive force against UML leaders and cadres who took to the streets in peaceful protests against his arrest.
He said he was surprised by the conduct of the police, given the contributions made by UML-led governments to improving the police force’s services, facilities, uniforms and working conditions.
