Bhopal, May 27

An IAS officer who praised Jawaharlal Nehru in a Facebook post has been transferred by the Madhya Pradesh government.

Ajay Singh Gangwar, who was the Barwani District Collector, was transferred last night as Deputy Secretary in the Secretariat in Bhopal. Gangwar had been promoted to the IAS cadre from the state service in 2005.

In the post, which has gone viral, Gangwar has written that “let me know the mistakes that Nehru should not have committed... Is it his mistake that he prevented all of us from becoming Hindu Talibani Rashtra in 1947? Is it his mistake to open IIT, ISRO, BARC, IISB, IIM, BHEL steel plant, dams, thermal power? Is it his mistake he honoured Sarabhai, Homi Jehangir in place of intellectuals like Asaram and Ramdev?” An official said the post had not gone down well with top officials as it was in “violation” of service rules, following which an initial probe was conducted and Gangwar shifted. — PTI
