Early Times Report JAMMU, Sept 10: In a shameful act, BJP MLA from Jammu's Chhamb area, Krishan Lal, crossed a river atop his Personal Security Officer's (PSO's) back some three months ago. Lal has been photographed crossing a shallow brook and the picture has gone viral on social networking sites. Ironically, Lal justified the act, and claimed that the PSO had been appointed to help him. "He is my PSO. He was hired to help me, right? Who else will help me," asked Lal, as he rubbished allegations of misusing his powers. "I was fulfilling my responsibility by going to a young boy's pyre who was killed in the ceasefire violation. The PSO himself offered to lift me on his back. I was just fulfilling my job," he said. Recently, Maharashtra's Rural Development Minister Pankaja Munde was embroiled in a controversy after a member of her staff was seen carrying her slippers. Munde defended herself saying that the man was in her personal employment and not a Government servant. |
