  • 5 years ago
India News: Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav on Monday said his son and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's move to suspend the 2009-batch Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Durga Shakti Nagpal is absolutely correct.

"It is a correct decision. If the government had not taken a decision it would have been a problem," he told media outside the Parliament here.Yadav, however, refused to comment on whether the suspension would be revoked.Amid a deepening political row over the officer's suspension, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister today questioned the 'outcry', and said the officers are punished if they make mistakes."If an officer makes a mistake, he or she is punished, just like children are punished in school. That is how a government works," he told media in Lucknow.

Commenting on Nagpal's suspension, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh earlier in the day said there are rules laid down and that will be followed."There are rules laid down and the rules will be followed. And we are in touch with the state government to find out the full details of the case," said Dr. Singh.The Prime Minister's remark came hours after the Uttar Pradesh Government slapped a charge sheet accusing Nagpal of flouting norms and lacking administrative acumen.
