The movement urged Prime Minister Balen Shah\u2019s government not to turn the appointment and removal of ministers into a crude and disrespectful game, emphasizing that cabinet composition is a matter of serious political and moral responsibility requiring maturity, foresight, and accountability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not an ordinary government; it represents the mandate earned through the blood sacrifice of 76 martyrs,\u201d the statement declared. \u201cNo one has the right to play cheap politics over the people\u2019s sacrifice.\u201d The movement also warned that it would not tolerate any compromise or delay in matters of good governance, transparency, and accountability.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy surrounding Gurung intensified after evidence surfaced showing his business partnership with controversial businessman Deepak Bhatt\u2014currently in police custody in connection with a money\u2011laundering investigation\u2014through Star Micro Insurance Company.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/eng.dragonmedia.com.np\/?p=15459\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kathmandu, April 19 \u2014 Genji Movement Nepal has formally demanded that the government immediately dismiss Home Minister Sudhan Gurung in order to allow an impartial investigation into serious allegations against him.
