| PM orders BSF to revoke pay cut order against jawan who did not refer to him as 'Shri' | | | Agencies
NEW DELHI: The Border Security Force on Wednesday rescinded its order of a seven-day pay cut for the jawan who who forgot to affix 'honourable' or 'Shri' while referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, following the latter expressing his disapproval.
In its tweet today, the force said, “Concerned commandant has been cautioned for not dealing with the matter judiciously.”
It added that the "honourable PM" had expressed his displeasure and directed the force to immediately withdraw the punishment.
While imposing this extreme penalty, the BSF had earlier called the mistake "disrespect" to the Prime Minister.
The incident took place on February 21 inside the BSF's 15th Battalion headquarters in Mahatpur, Nadia (West Bengal), during the zero parade, a routine exercise to account for jawans' daily activities.
During the parade, constable Sanjeev Kumar used the word "Modi programme" while giving a report.
The commanding officer of the battalion, Commandant Anup Lal Bhagat, decided to initiate disciplinary action against Kumar. He was tried summarily and found "guilty" under Section 40 of the BSF Act (prejudicial to good order and discipline of the force). |
