IPS officer indulging in electoral politics: Sajjad

Peoples Conference chairman and former minister Sajjad Lone on Wednesday accused a senior IPS officer of indulging in electoral politics and warned that he will name him soon.

In a tweet, Lone, a separatist-turned-BJP ally claimed that the IPS officer of the rank of additional director general of police has summoned some SP’s, Dy Sp’s and has been discussing with them as to how to script a wave in his favourite leader’s favour.

“IPS officer of the rank of ADGP indulging in electoral politics. summoned Some SPs, DSPs deliberating how to script a wave for his fav leader. Will name him soon. But hope @PMOIndia @jandkgovernor @KVijayKumarIPS take note. give us an even playing field. Is that too much to ask (SIC),” the separatist turned pro-India politician tweeted.

He said that the ADGP was a non-state subject and if he was interested in fighting elections he should do it from his own state. “If the said ADGP is so keen to enter politics let him go and fight in his own state. Don’t the people of J & K deserve to choose their leader without these Machiavellian tactics. Aren’t rigged elections the reason where we r today. Are there no lessons to be learnt. @PMOIndia (sic),” he said in another tweet.
