Chandigarh:
The General Secretary of All India Congress Committee, former Union Minister, and Sirsa MP Kumari Selja has said that the BJP government of Haryana must answer in the case of IPS Y. Pooran Kumar’s suicide. “Why did this happen? Why were his repeated warnings ignored?” she asked. The government itself stands in the dock and must answer before the nation. Kumari Selja said that this was not an isolated incident. “The officers named in his letter were the same ones he had been raising concerns about repeatedly in the past. Unfortunately, neither the government nor the system paid attention to his pain. Kumari Selja said Instead, he was continually harassed and subjected to action.
Imagine a senior officer who served with utmost honesty being mentally broken to such an extent that he felt he had no way out. This is not just the tragedy of one person, it is a stark example of the entire system’s insensitivity. Kumari Selja said that What his family, his wife Amneet, herself a senior IAS officer, and his children are going through cannot be expressed in words.
Kumari Selja said that the bereaved family has sought security and even filed an FIR, yet the question remains: Does the voice of a senior bureaucrat or even an ordinary citizen hold no value in this country anymore? Will officials be punished instead of protected for seeking justice?” She said it was shameful that action was taken only after the family refused to perform the last rites. The BJP government must answer why, despite repeated warnings, no one listened. It stands accountable before the nation.
:-The Every Citizen Has the Right to Justice and Equality:-Kumari Selja
Kumari Selja said that the Constitution guarantees justice and equality to every citizen, but under the BJP government, justice is being divided on the basis of class and privilege. Can someone be denied justice simply because they belong to a weaker section, even if they have risen through hard work, merit, and constitutional rights?
Kumari Selja said that Even the Chief Justice of India has been targeted, and senior IPS officers like Y. Pooran Kumar have faced such extreme harassment that they were driven to end their lives.
:-The Banning Women Journalists Is an Insult to Democracy and Freedom of Expression:-Kumari Selja
Kumari Kumari Selja condemned the ban on the entry of women journalists at the international press conference of Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi in New Delhi, calling it a disgrace to democracy and freedom of expression.
She said that On the eve of International Day of the Girl Child, this decision exposes the hollowness of the BJP government’s slogans about ‘women empowerment’. When women journalists are barred from asking questions or reporting freely, who will hear the voice of half the nation’s population?
