Raichur: Social activists have taken severe objection to the alleged participation of Panchayat Development Officer (PDO) Praveen Kumar K in a guard of honour by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) recently, with some activists demanding the officer’s suspension.
Kumar, who is the personal assistant (PA) of the BJP MLA of Lingasugur Manappa Vajjal, was reportedly seen dressed like an RSS worker, wearing the uniform and holding a stick in hand, and participating in the guard of honour of the RSS recently.
Trade union leader HM Babu has written to Karnataka Chief Secretary as well as the Panchayat Raj Minister, taking objection to the PDO’s actions, saying the government officer was giving rise to social disharmony. Babu has also urged the government to suspend Kumar immediately for participating in the RSS activity and violating government norms.
