Quotes
Jayesh Rangjan
Secretary of the IAS Officers Association
“It is regrettable that while officers were upholding the law, the legislator chose to launch a personal attack based on religious identity, involving baseless claims of proselytisation. Such rhetoric is not only factually incorrect but is a direct assault on the secular fabric and professional autonomy of the Indian Police Service. The association stands firmly by the police officer Gaush Alam and demanded an immediate public apology from the MLA. The IPS Officers’ Association places on record its strongest condemnation of the malicious, baseless and vicious allegations levelled against Gaush Alam by the BRS MLA.”
