I have filed a complaint before Justice Markandey Katju, Chairman, Press Council of India to enquire into the facts related with senior UP Minister Azam Khan’s statement regarding bureaucracy. Azam Khan had allegedly said in a meeting in Samajwadi Party office at Lucknow on 30 January 2013 that the officers understand the language of whipping but the next day his official statement came that such media reports were baseless and had been done to tarnish his image and that of his government.
In view of the credibility of Media, I have requested a detailed inquiry in the matter so as to bring the truth of whether the initial media reports regarding his whipping statements are correct or not, which will also clarify the situation about his later denials.
