Durga suspension case: Sonia letter kicks off more debate

Lucknow : The letter addressed by UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, criticizing the controversial suspension of Durga Shakti Nagpal, a young IAS Officer from Uttar Pradesh and seeking his intervention in the case, has now kicked off more debate.

Sonia’s letter to the PM  sought the Centre’s intervention in the Durga case and also urged for justice to Durga.

Meanwhile, reacting sharply to Sonia’s letter, the Samajwadi Party has   said Sonia ought to have even written a letter regarding the illegal land dealings of  her son-in-law Robert Wadhra and also the transfer  of Ashok Kemka.In fact the Uttar Pradesh government had then taken strong exception to the Ashok Kemka transfer case.

Reacting to the latest development, External Affairs Minister Salman Khushid said   the case of suspension of IAS officer Durga Shakti can  in no way be compared to the  Ashok Kemka transfer case.

If Durga Shakti  had  decided to  act tough against the sand mafia  in Gowtham Buddha Nagar of Uttar Pradesh, the  Uttar Pradesh Chief minister Akhilesh Yadav had suspended her on July 27 on the charges of misuse of power.
