Hyderabad, Aug.1 (NSS): Condemning the remarks of Telangana senior IAS officer Smita Sabharwal, who affirmed that there was no need for reservations for people with disabilities in civil services which demand extensive field work, Congress MLC Jeevan Reddy has appealed to the State government to take a stringent action against the senior bureaucrat.
Taking part in the discussion in the Legislative Council on Thursday, the Congress MLC expressed anger at Smita Sabharwal for making derogatory remarks against the differently-abled individuals and said that her comments were humiliating and hurting the moral integrity of disabled.
“Smita Sabharwal, being in a responsible position, has questioned the entire reservation system by levelling derogatory remarks against the differently-abled persons. The State government should take an immediate action against the senior IAS officer and it should send a strong message in support of the disabled persons,” Jeevan Reddy said.
“Why is the State government not initiating action even though there is a possibility of taking action against her as per the law. Don’t prolong the matter,” Jeevan Reddy added.
