It is not the first time that the political class, irrespective of whether in power or in the Opposition, has been involved in either manhandling or assaulting government officials. Only a few days ago, a Union Minister was recorded using a “cuss” word against an official in public. If the report of AAP MLAs assaulting Delhi Chief Secretary is true, action should be taken. The officers’ association needs to exhibit the same zeal which they have shown in Delhi when officers are attacked in other States. Uncivilised acts by politicians need to be nipped in the bud (“AAP MLAs assaulted me: Delhi Chief Secy”, February 21).
