The National Gen Z Citizen Campaign has strongly objected to the way the government transferred serving Inspector General of Police Dan Bahadur Karki, calling the move a dismissal carried out in disguise.
Speaking at a press conference at Reporters' Club Nepal in Kathmandu on Thursday, the campaign's co-coordinator Ajay Sodari said the government created a post the law does not recognise in order to remove the serving police chief.
"Creating a post the law does not recognise and using it to transfer the serving inspector general is a dismissal in an invisible way," Sodari said.

Sodari said he trusted the court to correct what he called the Balen government's handling of the police chief's case for political ends. He said such practices must be stopped by the courts.
He also accused the government of repeatedly attacking the dignity of the police organisation and said Home Minister Sudhan Gurung had completely failed to run the home administration.
Sodari also raised the Inam Sapkota case, which he said connects the judiciary, the police administration, the army headquarters and major political parties. He alleged that Sapkota was operated by Kumar Ben and was close to Asim Shah and Prime Minister Balendra Shah, and said the government was using the case to attack institutions from the judiciary to the police.
The campaign also questioned the appointment of Ani Choying Dolma as vice-chair of the Lumbini Development Fund, with Sodari saying her qualifications fell short of such a responsible post. He said she faced a money laundering case and a citizenship dispute and should decline the post at once.
Sodari also attacked Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle's recent remarks during his visit to India, calling them surrenderist. He said raising issues such as Lipulekh, Susta, Kalapani and the 1950 treaty was not being anti-India, and demanded that the prime minister dismiss Wagle if he was truly a nationalist.
The campaign warned the government to work in line with the spirit and sentiments of the Gen Z movement.
