Withdraw circulars to use bureaucrats as ‘pracharaks‘ of the Union government: Kharge

The Hindu  

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi here on Sunday, objecting to a recent decision taken by the Centre to depute senior bureaucrats to all districts in the country as ‘Rath Prabharis’ to propagate the Union government’s development initiatives. “While it is acceptable for government officers to disseminate information, to make them ‘celebrate’ and ‘showcase’ achievements blatantly turns them into political workers of the ruling party. He also cited an order by the Ministry of Defence, reportedly directing soldiers on annual leave to spend time on promoting government schemes, making them ‘soldier-ambassadors’. To force our soldiers to become marketing agents of government schemes is a dangerous step towards politicisation of the Armed Forces,” the Opposition Leader in Rajya Sabha said.
