Re: [IAC#RG] CAN IAS OFFICERS FUNCTION LIKE REBELS ?

Why isolate the IAS officers cadre only?
Railways which is run by Railway Board consisting of Indian Railways cadre officer of various disciplines had to surrender to the whims and fancies- myopic vision of the political Master-result can be seen in the financial mess such a National Building Organisation has been brought in.And now committees is formed to suggest measures consisting of members who had served earlier and had not the guts to stand up to the Politicians or surrendered for personal benefits/ post retirement postings
Chief Justice Of India should initiate through Special Investigation team make detailed enquiry on the functioning of Such anti Nationals and make he/she accountable for all the misadventures which has brought in tremendous sustained losses.Same action should be taken against certain CM's of states who are literally squandering public money  for unplanned works and blaming other centers of power for their inefficient working with short time gains -regional nature. .
Public should raise their voice unitedly if such irresponsible insensitive anti national activities  are to be checked. .Otherwise matters will go worse everyday.Please do remember what Winston Churchill remarked about the political bosses when India won freedom 
 
With kind regards

U r absolutely right Venkat Sir. There r many Khemkas these days who nvr miss a chance to show themselves' holier than though' but almost all of them just play in d hands of others, mostly netas n media men. The govt shd take stern action if these khemkas behave in such a way. It should tell its officers sternly not to raise their dissenting voice in public. If they HV grievances they shd raise it according to their rights given to them as public servants.

                                                               CAN  IAS  OFFICERS  FUNCTION  LIKE  REBELS ?
 Of late, some IAS officers are seen and heard criticising the government that they serve. They unhesitatingly participate in debates in television media making critical remarks about the ministers and policies and methods of the government. One wonders what is the "Lakshman Rekha" for these serving IAS  officers who really sound like rebels.
Obviously, Mr. Ashok Khemka  who has become well known by  frequently defying the government, getting transferred and getting huge publicity whenever such transfers occur and readily giving  his views in media and answering  questions from journalists, has raised   questions as to what would be the rights and responsibilities of an IAS officer and whether the service rule permit such rebellious methods. Mr. Khemka has got away with such approach so far, possibly due to the friendly media that support him all the time even without ascertaining the facts  and a government that is unwilling to put its foot down, fearing the media and the so called public opinion.
The fact is that an IAS officer has to obey the orders of the ministers who are voted to power by the people. If he is given an illegal order or an order in which he has no agreement , he is entitled to request the minister to give the order in writing. If the minister would give the order in writing, he has no alternative other than obeying the order, even if he would not agree ; after recording his dissenting note on the file.
Moreover, IAS officer has the responsibility to ensure smooth functioning of the government apparatus by not adopting an approach of confrontation and friction with the minister, by having a "holier than thou" attitude.
People know the happenings in the government only through media. While Mr. Khemka may have his stand, the ministers too may have the stand and every time Mr. Khemka accuses the ministers , the ministers refute such accusations. For the public, there is no real way to know who is right and who is wrong.
In any case, it is absolutely irresponsible and unbecoming of serving IAS officer to give media interviews , criticising the government. The right course open to him is to go to the administrative tribunal, which looks into the issues concerning the IAS officers and give it's decisions.
Mr. Khemka and some of his similar friends are creating unhealthy precedent which will inevitably weaken the administrative structure and create a new  unhealthy practice and set bad example to the juniors.
Mr. Khemka and his friends should keep in mind that his juniors may also show  similar attitude towards them, due to any right or wrong reasons, learning from them.
