CALLS ON THE FAMILY OF DECEASED OFFICERS, EXPRESSES CONCERN OVER RISING ATROCITIES ON WEAKER SECTIONS
ASSURES FULSOME SUPPORT AND COOPERATION TO BEREAVED FAMILY
Chandigarh, October 11-
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Saturday instead of safeguarding its blue eyed officers, the Haryana government should give justice to family of late IPS officer Y Puran Kumar by booking the key officers named by him in his suicide note
Interacting with the media persons after meeting the family of Y Puran Kumar here today, the Chief Minister appealed to the Government of India and Haryana government to stand with the bereaved family in this hour of crisis. He said that instead of protecting the interests of their blue eyed officers, the Haryana government should secure justice for the aggrieved family. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that he has flagged up this issue with the Governor of Punjab, who is the Chief Administrator of Chandigarh too, that the officers named by Y Puran Kumar should be booked immediately.
The Chief Minister further said that the entire family is in trauma after the death of the senior IPS officer of Haryana, who hailed from a humble background. He said that the wife of the deceased officer is daughter of Punjab and a senior officer of the Haryana government adding that it is unfortunate that such cases of targeting the weaker sections are on rise in the country. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that it is unfortunate that despite being a senior officer couple of Haryana, the family has to run pillar to post for justice.
The Chief Minister said that this is a conspiracy to target the senior officers and common man of weaker and underprivileged sections sitting on high posts. Citing the example of Chief Justice of India, he said that the troll Army was making his memes daily and targeting him as a part of their nefarious agenda. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that it is unfortunate that discriminatory policies are being adopted against these sons of the soil adding that even traditional policies are attacking him too because he hails from a common non political family.
The Chief Minister said that these people intend to change the constitution of India that was drafted meticulously by visionary leaders like Baba Sahib Dr BR Ambedkar, to safeguard the interests of the weaker sections. He said that atrocities against the Schedule Caste brethren are on rise in the country especially in this year of 2025. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the deceased officer had in his suicide note mentioned about the discriminatory treatment meted out to him but the Haryana government didn’t take any action.
