The great Sangh Parivar and its equally great leaders have done great
harm to their credibility by proving beyond doubt that their mental makeup is
no better than those of the dynasts and their sycophants in dealing with honest
officials like Ashok Khemka, Sanjiv Chaturvedi and a host of others. While Sanjiv has engaged in legal battles so-called nationalists
pretending to be hawkers of Hindutava, Khemka has openly ridiculed their might. In a Tweet on Tuesday, he pooh-poohed the pallbearers of the Haryana
government on his sixth transfer. He wrote: “Whose interests do I protect? Yours or the people's you claim
to represent? It's your arrogance that you will trample me under your feet.
With pleasure, I have suffered repeatedly, let it be once more." The 1991-batch IAS officer's tweet came two days after his transfer from
a 15-month posting in the Sports and Youth Affairs Department, headed by
mercurial state minister Anil Vij. In his 27 year's long career, Khemka has been transferred 56 times - a
world record. Before being transferred to the Sports and Youth Affairs Department in
November 2017, he held the charge of principal secretary in the Social Justice
and Empowerment Department. Even at that time, he had taken to Twitter after the transfer order was
issued. "So much work planned. News of another transfer. Crash landing
again. Vested interests win. Deja vu. But this is temporary. Will continue with
renewed vigor and energy" Khemka had tweeted then.
