Sub:    Regarding circulation of threat letter amongst all Unions by the parents of Sh.Kulbhushan Kakar, SPOs Kapurthala, probably on the behest of Sh. Kakkar.

Sir/Madam,

This is to bring to your kind notice that an impression of bewilderment has been tried to create by circulating a letter amongst staff union by the Parents of Shri Kulbhushan Kakkar, SPOs Kapurthala. In this letter, various frivolous and baseless allegations have been leveled against our members. Since Shri Kulbhushan Kakkar is seeking support from the service union and he has not denied circulation of this letter so, it can now explicitly be termed that the parents of Shri Kulbhushan Kakkar has circulated this letter on the behest of their son and has been approved by him. 

The instant threat letter is not only intended for accomplishment of vested interest purely on coercion and duress but to defame and demoralize the IP cadre / IPASP Association amongst revered unions of All India level and Circle level by leveling frivolous, unfounded, baseless allegations. It has been urged upon all unions to extend full hearted support in fighting for their justice. Shri Kulbhushan Kakar through this letter has targeted the members of the association by naming them in individual capacity and has also targeted the association by using derogatory words like over jealous, lobbying, buttering of senior officers etc. Association and its members particularly named in this letter vehemently refute the allegations leveled against them and condemned such type of instigation.

The distribution of instant letter upto the smallest units of our department like GDS has absolutely tarnished the image of IP Cadre amongst them. Where IP Cadre, acting as a part of Administration shoulders the responsibilities for implementation of Govt policies and discharged them at all cost, now after distribution of such disgraceful contents amongst them, constant humiliation is being suffered by the cadre without their any fault, reason or rhyme and it has become difficult to discharge duties in this adverse environment

Sir, you will agree that if a Divisional Head adopts/resort to demonstration like indefinite hunger strike for his vested interest, what can be expected from subordinate staff being supervised by Divisional Head/ASP/IP such as PA/SA, Postman/MTS, GDS etc.

 Needless to say, Legal recourse is a constitutional right provided to every citizen of India, and he/she can approach the Hon’ble Courts/Bench whenever he/she is deprived of any legitimate right or discriminated. As such, filing of Civil, Criminal or application before Hon’ble Forum/Courts cannot be held as sacrificial to someone or indiscrimination. Association has filed the Court case in respect of Group B Examination only for their legitimate right, not in the context that Mr Kakkar is appearing in this examination, but due to incorrect calculation of PS Group B Vacancies, and Hon’ble Court was kind enough to award justice in our favour.     

Association feels that such type of threats that too in the present times cannot be taken lightly. It is, therefore, earnestly requested to initiate suitable action against the said officer. A stern action in this regard is welcomed so that the same would act as a deterrent in future. It is hoped that Administration would rise to the occasion. However, association is opened to any such investigation & inquiries by the appropriate level/authority, in case, needed be.
