Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 7: "Pseudo-secularism" and "appeasement" were the two dearest slogans of the BJP leaders when party was in opposition but after attaining power BJP has crossed all limits of "appeasement" by maintaining a criminal silence on highly irresponsible and inflammatory comment of some IAS officers, who have been speaking against the government's policy and toeing line of separatists amidst unrest in Kashmir Valley.
It is first time in the history of India that IAS officers are openly speaking against government policy in dealing present Kashmir situation and criticizing security forces but no action has been taken against them.
First it was Kashmir's IAS poster boy Shah Faesal, now Kashmir's first woman IPS officer Ruveda Salam who has raised her voice on social media about the protests in the state.
Kashmir's first IPS woman officer, Dr Salam slammed the Mehbooba Mufti-led BJP-PDP coalition government in a Facebook post for what she termed "mishandling" of the protests in the state that had led to civilian deaths.
On Wednesday, Dr Salam, who is currently with the Ministry of Finance, took to Facebook and in a thinly veiled post accused the Mehbooba Mufti-led government of "hypocrisy" and painting the streets of Kashmir valley "red".
However, her post didn't go down well with a senior J&K police officer, Harmeet Singh Mehta, who called Salam "an ignorant lady" in comments section of the post and also suggested that she could resign and join the separatists.
Mehta, who is Superintendent of Police in Sopore, also said the "Government must take action against you as a civil servant spreading venom against state."
"I weigh my each word and whatever I have written are facts… I am pained by the attitude of those who swear by oath to protect innocents and then shy away from assuming responsibility… I didn't mind the "ignorant lady" comment by one of our worthy Police Officers of J&K, although it was in bad taste & with undertones of gender bias. Writing what you truly feel inside is often snubbed by dictating to you to resign & join separatists, probably, reflecting the general false belief that all Kashmiris are terrorists and they should be either silenced or driven away to the neighbouring country," Ruveda wrote in her reply.
