Deuba said that Karki was running the anti-graft body in a "more wicked manner" than the Shahi Commission under direct rule of deposed King.
Speaking at NC Central Working Committee meeting on Thursday, President Deuba said that he had suggested Karki a number of times to change his tyrannical working style to which Karki continually turned a deaf ear.
Deuba also said that it was hard for NC to go against impeachment motion registered against Karki as he was becoming more authoritarian than king.
As many as 157 parliamentarians from CPN-UML and CPN (Maoist Centre) registered an impeachment motion against Karki at the Parliament Secretariat on Wednesday. Shortly before the registration of impeachment motion, the Parliament had formed an 11-member impeachment recommendation committee in line with constitution.
