- Sparks Controversy with Threats and Intimidation
- Govt Employees Feel Unsafe… Media Also Gets Threatened
Article Today, Hyderabad:
A chairman in the Agriculture Department of Telangana has said he worked with Maoists in the past. He is now using this background to threaten people. He told government officers, media, opposition leaders, and businessmen that they should not go against him. He warned them saying, “If you stop me, I will shoot you or run you over with trucks.” These words have shocked many people.
Government Employees Feel Unsafe
Many employees said they are scared. They also said real Maoists do not make such threats. Some people feel the chairman is using his past to scare others and act like a bully. They said just because someone was once a Maoist does not give them the right to threaten anyone.
Businessmen Say They Are Being Forced for Money…
Some local business people have said the chairman is demanding money from private companies. He is threatening them if they don’t pay. Because of this, business owners say they are not able to run their businesses properly. Legal experts say this is not just a threat but also a crime. If it is proven, he can be punished for financial and criminal wrongdoing.
Media Also Gets Threatened
Journalists have also said they are receiving threats from this chairman. If anyone writes negative news about him, he threatens to use his Maoist background. Press groups are very angry about this. They say it is an attack on freedom of speech. They have asked the Chief Minister to take strict action.
Central Government May Take Serious Action
The Indian government is already running big operations to stop Maoists. In such a situation, if a public leader openly says he is a Maoist and threatens people, it can be a serious legal issue. Experts says if the central intelligence agencies get these videos or audio recordings, the chairman can face strong action. There are laws against Maoist support, and he could even be arrested.
People Remind About Saibaba’s Case
Many are remembering Professor Saibaba’s case, who was sent to jail for just being linked to Maoists. They say the chairman may also face similar trouble if he continues saying such things.
Why Can’t the Chairman Acts Like the CM?
People are also comparing the chairman with Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao. Even when they are criticized, they respond politely. The chairman, on the other hand, is reacting with threats. Government workers say public leaders must be calm and respectful. They should not act like they own the department.
Democracy Means Respecting Others
In a democracy, people have different opinions. Leaders must respect that. They must protect people’s rights and public property. Leaders should not act like they can do anything just because they have power.
