Retired IAS, IPS officers from Karnataka urge Rajya Sabha Chairman to put oath of office of Syed Naseer Hussain on hold
A group of 22 retired all-India service officers of IAS, IPS, IFS and IRS from Karnataka have written to Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar, who is also Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, to put the administration of oath of office to newly-elected member Syed Naseer Hussain of the Congress on hold.
They want the process to be put on hold till the member is absolved of alleged involvement in raising ‘Pakistan zindabad’ slogans in the corridors of the Karnataka secretariat soon after declaration of the results of the elections to the Rajya Sabha.
In a memorandum submitted to the Rajya Sabha Chairman, they urged Mr. Dhankhar to take steps to prevent such incidents in the future.
