KATHMANDU, Sept. 12: Former top civil servants and police officers have drawn a conclusion that the nature of politicians to choose top bureaucrats and police officers on their own was a deliberate insult of the people.



Speaking at an interaction program organized by the Reporters´ Club in the capital on Wednesday, they said the politicians were preoccupied with wrong mentality that they would secure more votes in elections if police chief and civil servants were selected as per their wish.[break]



The speakers also alleged the politicians of being guided by favoritism and nepotism being deviated from the national responsibility.



Commenting on the dillydallying to select the chief of Nepal Police by the government, the former bureaucrats and police officers said that this has created groupism in security organization--a serious symptom in police organization.



Former home secretaries Khem Raj Regmi and Umesh Prasad Mainali, former inspector general of Nepal Police Dhruba Bahadur Pradhan, former additional inspector general of Nepal Police Anantaram Bhattarai and others expressed their opinion against the existing trend of political interference on bureaucracy and security organizations.
