Arrogant and defiant Samajwadi Party leaders are now threatening and indulging in character assassination of an honest cadre Durga Shakti Nagpal, of India's most valuable and prestigious institution Indian Administrative Service.
UP Minister for Health and Family Welfare Ahmad Hasan attempted to demoralise the officer by questioning her family background by asking,"Which family does Nagpal belong to? You will come to know when we will expose it... then you will regret. Whom are you encouraging?" He rudely accused her to demoralise and said,"She has issued a statement that she didn't raze the wall of the masjid. She has said the villagers of Kadalpur demolished it on her suggestion. Do you know where does she come from? She is a liar."
Hasan lashed out at the media as well."You must look within. There are black sheep in the media also. But you are trying to hide actual details about that unreasonable SDM. She should apologise for disturbing social harmony in the area,".
Hasan, who was speaking at a function of the Department of Dairy Development in Lucknow, presided by the CM. Akhilesh Yadav, accused IAS officer Durga Sakthi Nagpal that she is a liar and tried to blackmail by threatening to reveal dark secrets about her.
Also a team of officers has been deployed to collect every detail about of Durga Sakthi and her 2011 -batch IAS husband of UP cadre, Abhishek Singh, posted previously at Ghaziabad as joint magistrate, and now training at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration, Mussoorie. Some officers have claimed that they have found some discrepancy in his certificates. More officers are engaged to find any dirt about her parents, while linking them with a right-wing organization.
More and more sections of society are coming out open in support of the honest IAS lady and one section of the minority community led by the Hazrat Saiyad Bhure Shah Committee has openly alleged that the Akhilesh Yadav government is using the Muslim community to target an upright officer for taking legal action against the sand mafia and land sharks of Noida.
Kadir Khan, secretary of the SBSC, a unit of the Sunni Waqf Board observed,""My point is that the government is using the Muslim community to settle scores with a young officer who is honest and energetic, and it seems to have disturbed the SP government which is now finding it difficult to get out of this situation. The government is exposed and so it is threatening the officer, every possible way," .
Added this note on late hours tonight :
UP Waqf board denies setting up probe against IAS officer Durga, but Kadir Khan, secretary of the SBSC, a unit of the Sunni Waqf Board said,“When I reached home in Dankaur, I got calls threatening me with dire consequences,” Kader Khan Jayaswal said and added, “Several goons came to my house, and asked me to keep mum on the land-grabbing issue and Nagpal’s suspension.”
Kader Khan alleged that UP waqf board chairman Zafar Faruqi had also threatened him, but he warned, “I do not fear for my life,” he said. “My fight for the upright officer will continue.”
