New Delhi. Is it right to identify someone by his clothes?, How right is it to insult someone for clothes?… We are compelled to ask this question because a case has come to the fore from Bihar, after knowing that your mind too All kinds of questions will start coming. In fact, here the DM felt bad about wearing the headmaster’s kurta pajama that the DM spoke in objectionable language with the headmaster in front of the students. Not only this, the DM, who arrived with the camera himself, started shouting at the headmaster in front of the students and talked about stopping the salary and suspending it. Now when the video of this entire incident came to light, along with the common people, many IAS and IPS officers have also tweeted and demanded action against the DM who reprimanded the headmaster.
These videos going viral on social media are seen DM Sanjay Kumar Singh of Lakhisarai district of Bihar, who had come to inspect the girls primary school, Balgudar. During this, when DM Saheb’s eyes fell on the dress of the school principal Nirbhay Kumar Singh, he became furious. The DM sahib even got a phone call to the District Education Officer and he described the principal’s outfit as ‘leader type’.
Now this video of DM is becoming quite viral. The reaction of 1985 batch IAS officer Sanjeev Gupta has also come to the fore regarding the matter. Expressing his displeasure after watching this video, Sanjeev Gupta wrote, ‘It is condemnable and indecent for a civil servant to behave like this with a colonial mentality. A teacher is being criticized for Indian dress (not work). Sweat ️ Gumcha. In IIT Kanpur some teachers and we used to wear pajamas/kurtas. I have taken this matter to the Chief Secretary.
Such rude conduct with colonial mindset is deplorable & unbecoming of a civil servant. A teacher being lambasted for Indian attire (& not work)! Sweat ️ Gamcha. In @IITKanpur,some teachers & us wore pajama/kurta. Have brought it to Chief Secy’s notice. @officecmbihar @VijayKChy pic.twitter.com/f7ogEubM4Z
