Controversy over BJP MP Trivendra Singh Rawat’s Remarks
Recently, there has been a controversy over the alleged remarks made by BJP MP Trivendra Singh Rawat regarding illegal mining. The state’s IAS Association has taken a stand on this issue and emphasized the importance of treating its members with respect.
IAS Association Stands Up for Self-Respect
During a meeting chaired by Uttarakhand IAS Association president Anand Bardhan, a resolution was passed stating that all members of the association have the right to self-respect. It was emphasized that any individual, officer, institution, or organization should refrain from making statements that may hurt the members of the association.
Secretary of the Uttarakhand IAS Association, Dilip Jawalkar, mentioned that they have decided to formally present this resolution to Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami.
Background of the Controversy
The controversy arose after MP Trivendra Singh Rawat raised concerns about illegal mining activities in Uttarakhand during a parliamentary session. He alleged that illegal mining trucks were operating at night in various districts, causing damage to civic infrastructure.
In response, Mining Secretary Brijesh Kumar Sant dismissed these allegations as baseless and false. He pointed out that there has been a significant increase in mining revenue in the current financial year, surpassing the set targets.
Following the secretary’s response, Rawat reportedly made objectionable remarks during a private channel interview, leading to further tensions.
Conclusion
It is evident that the resolution passed by the Uttarakhand IAS Association is a direct response to the recent remarks made by MP Trivendra Singh Rawat. The association is standing up for the self-respect of its members and advocating for mutual respect in all interactions.
