Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Monday appeared to be defending the police crackdown on protesting farmers in Karnal but acknowledged that the IAS officer, who made crack the head remark against farmer, choose wrong words. A video of the Sub Divisional magistrate’s had surfaced online, in which he was seen intructing the policemen to use force on the famers. The video went viral and sparked outrage on social media with opposition demanding resignation of CM Khattar.

Addressing a presser in Chandigarh, Khattar said although the officer’s choice of words was not correct, strictness had to be maintained to ensure law and order situation there was kept under check, he said at a press conference in Chandigarh.

If any action has to be taken (against the officer), it would first have to be assessed by the district administration. The DGP is also looking into it. To maintain law and order, strictness had to be ensured, he added.

However, CM Khattar slammed Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh for demanding his resignation.

Khattar said who is Singh to demand his resignation. Instead, he himslef should tender his resignation as he is behind farmers’ agitation. Framers protesting on Delhi borders are from Punjab, not Haryana.

Asked about the incident, Union Minister Narendra Tomar also defended the action, saying it was the responsibility of the state to maintain law and order. Sometimes, officers are required to take action to maintain law and order, he said, adding that the farmers okay with farm laws were standing with Prime Minister Narendra Modi but there were some who were against it.

Meanwhile, Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala had condemned the incident in Karnal and termed it as unfortunate. Chautala promised action against the IAS officer amid mounting opposition’s attack against the M L Khattar government over the Saturday lathi-charge on farmers and their demand of strict action against the magistrate.

Chautala said this is not expected from any officer. Such action is against the conduct of any officer. During training, IAS is trained to deal with the situation by controlling the emotions. An IAS officer, who is a duty magistrate, must act with caution. The party will definitely ask for action after investigation.

Karnal SDM Ayush Sinha, a 2018-batch IAS officer, was caught on camera telling police to break farmers’ heads during the farmers’ protest.

Delhi lieutenant governor Vinai Kumar Saxena today sought a detailed probe from Delhi Police commissioner Sanjay Arora in relation with the alleged defamatory social media post made by Congress’s Supriya Shrinate against actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut.

Reportedly, BJP candidate from New Delhi Bansuri Swaraj had given a complaint to the LG seeking probe and registration of an FIR against Shrinate for outraging the modesty of a woman. Subsequently, the Delhi LG has forwarded the complaint to the Delhi Police Commissioner, directing a scientific investigation in the matter and initiation of legal action, if necessary.

Reports said that the Delhi Police will also investigate who was behind the said social media post and whose mobile phone was used for the purpose. A major controversy erupted on Monday after an objectionable post from Supriya Shrinate’s social media handle against Kangana Ranaut, who has been announced as the BJP candidate from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi.

Responding to the remarks, Kangana Ranaut said that they must free the daughters from the shackles of prejudices and must rise above the curiosity about their body parts. She added that people must refrain from using sex workers’ challenging lives or circumstances as some kind of abuse or slur. She concluded that every woman deserves her dignity. As the controversy intensified, the Congress leader asserted that someone else had posted the objectionable content from her handle. 

Meanwhile, the Election Commission on Wednesday issued a show cause notice to Congress leader Supriya Shrinate for her derogatory remarks against Kangana Ranaut. The Election Commission observed that the remarks are undignified and in a bad taste. The election body asked the Congress leader to respond to the commission by Friday. In the notice, the Election Commission stated that the statements made by the leader is prima facie violative of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) being in force ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
