The suspension of former CID Additional DGP PV Sunil Kumar has sparked discussions, particularly among political circles.
While many, including Raghu Rama Raju and TDP supporters, may see this as a moment of satisfaction, the core issue lies in the reasoning behind the suspension.
Sunil Kumar was instrumental in troubling Raghu Rama Raju during the previous government, and his suspension now may seem like poetic justice to some.
However, the official reason given—unauthorized foreign trips—raises a larger concern.
If officials are held accountable not for their direct actions against political opponents but for unrelated bureaucratic violations, does this set a precedent?
The real dilemma here is whether this signals a pattern where every government finds a reason, however minor, to target officials who cooperated with the previous regime.
If that is the case, will bureaucrats now hesitate to act in favor of the ruling party, fearing retribution later?
This cycle of political vendetta disguised under procedural violations may lead to a governance structure where officials operate in self-preservation mode rather than executing their duties fearlessly.
Is this the right way to run a democracy, where governance takes a backseat to political revenge? Bureaucrats are in fact in confusion.
