MP officer on Facebook urges PM to start ‘suicide plan’

A tehsildar has courted a row with her social media post in which she purportedly appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to launch a “suicide scheme” in name of former Premier Rajiv Gandhi for “pseudo-seculars” and those with Congress ideology who cannot digest the applause Modi received from Muslims in Afghanistan.

As the Facebook post of Raoti tehsildar Amita Singh Tomar went viral, Ratlam district in-charge collector Harjinder Singh issued a show cause notice to her this evening for violating the Civil Services Conduct Rules.

“When Prime Minister went to Afghanistan, and then Muslims of that country waved India’s flag and raised slogans of Vande Mataram and Bharat Mata ki Jai. Therefore, I request Prime Minister that he should start Rajiv Gandhi Aatmhatya Yojna so that pseudo seculars and those with Congress ideology can commit suicide by hearing this news,” Mr Tomar purportedly said in the post on Tuesday.

However, she removed the post after it went viral. The officer on Wednesday also apologised for posting it stating she had no intention to hurt anybody’s feelings. Meanwhile, Mr Singh, also district panchayat CEO, said, “I have taken cognisance of the post as published in a section of media and have issued a show cause notice to Tomar for violating Civil Services Conduct Rules”.
