Various civil servant’s organizations and senior government officials have urged the upcoming government not to be received by Chief Secretary Lok Man Singh Karki and take action against him for his role in suppressing the people’s movement.

Speaking at a press conference in the capital on Thursday, they said that since Karki said that he would not be cooperative with the bureaucrats not supportive with the February 1 royal takeover of the King, the democratic bureaucrats would now return the favour by not cooperating with Karki.

Chairman of Civil Servant’s Union, Bhawani Prasad Thani said Karki should resign from his post as he was not fit to serve the people’s government.

“If he refuses to resign, the new government should sack him,” he added

Secretary Umesh Mainali, whom the royal government had dumped in reserve pool accused the bureaucratic leadership of Karki for failing to respect the sprit of civil servants in the past, adding, “So he should resign from the post on moral ground.”

Bidhyadhar Mallik, secretary at the peace secretariat, said that civil servants joined the people’s movement as they were not the servants of any individual.

Chairman of civil servants’ Organization Murari Bhattrai also asked Karki to resign, saying that otherwise the organization would launch protests to demand action against him. nepalnews.com pb Apr 28 06
