Hyderabad: Telangana State IPS Officers Association has condemned the baseless statements made by certain political functionaries against Director-General of Police M Mahendar Reddy stating that he has been asked to go on leave.
In a statement, the Association has clarified that Mahendar Reddy went on medical leave owing to injuries sustained by him at his home. In order to ensure proper healing of the hairline fracture, he was advised to take rest by the doctors and hence he proceeded on medical leave from February 18 to March 4.
He will join duty after due check-up and medical advice. The statements regarding Mahendar Reddy were made in an irresponsible manner without verification of facts and the reports of scientific diagnostic tests. “Instead of wishing him good health and speedy recovery, the leaders have needlessly dragged the officer for the sake of publicity,” the Association said.
The statements targeting some officers including ACB Director-General Anjani Kumar and other IAS officers from a particular State reflected biased thinking and lack of knowledge about the Constitution and the provisions of all India services.
The all India service officers were allotted to a particular State as per all India service rules and are given postings by the respective State governments. The irresponsible statements made against the officers, amounts to intrusion and interference in the discharge of official duties by them.
Such statements have an undesirable effect of needlessly dragging officers for the sake of self-publicity. “It is seen that some political functionaries are habituated in making wild and irresponsible statements with an intention to demoralize officers and police force and mislead the innocent public,” the Association said.
“We strongly condemn such frivolous statements. We urge these political functionaries to refrain from commenting without verifying the facts and without knowing about the provisions of the rules as provided in the Constitution,” the association added.
