IPS Association condemns KTR’s remarks against Sircilla District Collector

KTR lashed out at the district collector for allegedly asking BRS activists to join the Congress

Following Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao’s remarks against Sircilla collector Sandeep Kumar Jha, the Telangana IPS Association has called for “immediate cessation of such unfounded accusations”.

On Tuesday (November 26, 2024) , KTR lashed out at the district collector for allegedly asking BRS activists to join the Congress at the Deeksha Divas preparatory meeting in Sircilla. The BRS leader alleged that the collector behaved like a Congress worker.

“Such remarks are a direct affront to the principles of governance and the constitutional mandate under which civil servants operate. Officers are duty-bound to uphold the rule of law and serve the public without fear or fervour, and unwarranted attacks of this nature are both irresponsible and detrimental to democratic institutions,” the statement issued on Thursday (November 29, 2024) read.

“We members of Telangana IPS Officers’ Association stand firmly with the officer and reiterate our collective commitment to safeguarding the dignity, independence, and impartiality of Civil Services,” it said.
