I WONDER : GOOD, IF THEY GO TO COURT MR GAFOOR WILL VE TO PROVE HIS COMMENTS AND IN THE BARGAIN PEOPLE OF INDIA WILL GET TO KNOW THE TRUTH...WHATEVER IT IS.....PLZ GO AHEAD... GOOD FOR DEMOCRACY...
MUMBAI: The Congress-led Democratic Front government is set to dump former Mumbai police commissioner Hasan Gafoor for exceeding his brief and criticising four senior IPS officers for ‘‘dereliction of duty’’ during the 26/11 terror situation in Mumbai last year.
Left red-faced by the media interview in which Gafoor reportedly said that four top cops — K L Prasad, Parambir Singh, Deven Bharti and K Venkatesham — either ‘‘dithered on rushing to the sites or chose to be away from action’’, the home department led by NCP leader R R Patil has decided on a two-pronged plan against Gafoor. In case the officers accused of inept handling seek permission to initiate defamation proceedings against Gafoor, it will be granted immediately; simultaneously, provisions of the all India services (conduct) rules will be invoked against the former police chief who is currently DG (housing) for breach of discipline.
‘‘We have asked additional chief secretary Chandra Iyengar to conduct an inquiry against Gafoor. The home department will question Gafoor and ascertain whether he really levelled charges of dereliction of duty against a section of senior officers in his interview to a magazine,’’ Patil told TOI.

Good for all of us if an open inquiry is conducted. Just like India! those who had to die have done so, those who ran away reap the benefits.
ReplyDeleteSimilar case for those who supported British Raj are top politicians/businesses today, those who truly fought for independence are living hand to mouth.
