Sir, Sir/madam TAHRIR ( Transparency, Accountability & Human Rights initiative for revolution ) is a Bareilly/Lucknow based Social Organization, working at grass-root level by taking up & solving issues related to strengthening transparency & accountability in public life and protection of Human Rights in India. We are now writing to express our grave concern regarding two cases of harassment and gross violations of human rights of two persons by utter misuse of power by two lady IAS officers of Uttar Pradesh. We have come to know through newspapers that a gardener employed at the state-run Pandit Govind Ballabh Pant park in Gorakhpur has claimed that he had to go jail for “disobeying” SDM (Sadar) Neha Prakash when she asked him to stop cutting grass at the park as she was allergic to it. Neha, on her part, said that she had complained to the police against Yadav.Vishwanath Yadav, who was arrested and booked under Section 151 of the Indian Penal Code (disturbing public peace), was released later by city magistrate Satish Pal on two sureties of Rs 1 lakh each.Speaking to mediapersons after walking out of the jail, Yadav said the incident took place early morning on Tuesday when he was cutting grass and the SDM was taking a walk in the park. “She asked me not to cut the grass as she was allergic to it. Once she was a good distance away, I started cutting the grass again. This angered her and she threatened me.”Though Neha, on her part, claimed that she had played no role in Yadav’s arrest.“Everyday, I go to the park for yoga. On Tuesday too, I was practising yoga when the gardener started cutting the grass. I asked him to stop as it was spewing dust, but he didn’t listen.”She added that other women in the park had told her that Yadav misbehaved with them and made obscene gestures. Neha, however, reiterated that she had not complained to the the police against Yadav.Following Yadav’s release, Gorakhpur Commissioner Rakesh Kumar Ojha said: “Whatever the matter was has now been resolved.” In another incident, SDM Allahabad Trainee IAS Harshita Mathur got Sunil Chaudhary arrested for allegedly his taking a selfie pic with SDM while handing over a Memorandum for removal of a Red Light Areas to her. The related news are available at given links http://www.firstpost.com/ http://indianexpress.com/ http://vniindia.com/50051 http://hindi.news18.com/news/ Such type of autocratic behavior by public servants with their masters ( public ) is highly objectionable and cannot be taken for granted lest it becomes a routine and leads to a situation of complete wreckage of constitutional rights of citizen UP. We are bringing forth these cases where freedom of expression, general laws & humanitarian law are under attack in UP. This is a case where authorities have harassed and intimidated citizens. That, these two IAS have arbitrarily got the two citizen arrested by invoking CrPC 151,this kind of intimidation leads to massive censorship on freedom of expression, general laws & humanitarian law and when freedom of expression, general laws & humanitarian law are suppressed, the people’s constitutional right to dignified life is grossly violated. Government of Uttar Pradesh has been slow to address many areas of concern in humanitarian sphere, and has demonstrated what appears to be a more hard-line attitude in some areas such as restrictions on freedom of expression. There is a worsening pattern from 2012 to 2015 of harassment, intimidation and target threats against citizen and human rights defenders, many of whom have been forced to exile . We are requesting you to take appropriate actions to ensure that the government of Uttar Pradesh should establish a transparent regime of working in public life and ensure encouragement protection of Human Rights of its citizen and Human Rights defenders with no more humiliation to them at all. We are also requesting your good-self to look into these two particular cases of harassment and gross violations of human rights of two persons by utter misuse of power by two lady IAS officers of Uttar Pradesh and to initiate inquiry and take subsequent punitive action against the said perpetrator as per the law of the land. Looking forward to your immediate action in this regard, Yours sincerely, Sanjay Sharma سنجے شرما संजय शर्मा ( Founder & Chairman) Transparency, Accountability & Human Rights Initiative for Revolution ( TAHRIR ) 101,Narain Tower,F Block, Rajajipuram Lucknow,Uttar Pradesh-226017 Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/ Website :http://tahririndia.blogspot.
