A few days ago, a video was released on social media, where a group of policemen were abusing a young man who was returning home after working abroad.

That scene seen at the Tribhuvan International Airport was perhaps an example of the collective humiliation of us Nepalis.

Sanjay Ojha from Morang, who sweated in Dubai for years, landed at Kathmandu airport on 31 Chait. After passing the immigration and customs check at the airport, he was abused by the police. He endured the kicks, pushes and insults of the police. The three policemen continued to abuse him. That abuse was not only inflicted on one young man, it was also an injury to the self-esteem and identity of millions of Nepalis who sent remittances.

This was not a single incident. There was another warning of a growing mental imbalance within the police organization.
When there is a suicide inside the police station, indiscriminate firing on the three-cornered road and people are insulted under false pretenses, it is not difficult to understand that a crisis of consciousness has arisen at a deep level within the organization.
We should not forget that not only the country's economy is supported by these remittances, but also the police organization's livelihood. The money sent by Sanjay Ojha may have been used to pay the school fees of a policeman's children. And when the same Sanjay returns to his country, to be 'welcomed' by Lat, it is not just a person, is it not an insult to the soul of the nation?
There is no economic mobility in the country, no employment. The state is sending the youth abroad and humiliating them when they return. The trend of shooting people, criminalizing the victims and displaying power needs to be stopped now.

Police organizations need psychological therapy, moral education and sensitivity training to understand public sentiment more than guns. It is important to understand that the people are not the enemy, they are the basis of the salaries, allowances and salaries of the police organization.

Now the government and police leadership should open their eyes to improve the deteriorating psychology within the organization. If it is too late, that thread of faith will snap, leaving only fear, instability and uncertainty.

Kicking the hands of remittance senders of the country's origin is like setting fire to one's own backyard. It is now the state's responsibility to put out that fire.
