CAN BUREAUCRATS DECLINE GOVERNOR’S INVITATION ?
Whatever may be the difference of view with the Governor, the Chief Minister and other ministers should not have boycotted the invitation. By this immatured act, they have insulted Tamil New Year day and the occasion to honour Bharathiyar and also the post of Governor.
What is even more shocking is that IAS officers including Chief Secretary who should know better also joined the ministers in declining the invitation.
For a moment, they have forgotten their stature and standards expected of them. They should not join the politicians and should not lend their support to the act of politicking by politicians.
Lot of bad things are happening with regard to the behavior of IAS officers in Tamil Nadu. A few of them went along with the Chief Minister to Dubai in an aircraft which was leased by the ruling party . Now, by declining Governor’s invitation, IAS officers have proved that there is deep rot in their thought process and behavioral pattern.
