| Bokaro official in trouble for touching Soren's feet |
Ranchi, Aug 28 (IANS) The Jharkhand government Tuesday issued a show cause notice to Bokaro deputy commissioner Praveen Kumar Toppo for touching the feet of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha chief Shibu Soren.
'I have asked the chief secretary to issue a show cause to the Bokaro deputy commissioner for his act,' Chief Minister Madhu Koda told reporters here.
He, however, defended Toppo saying that he was new to the job and would gradually learn the gravity of the post.
On Sunday, Toppo had touched the feet of Soren in full public view at the Bokaro airport upon the JMM leader's arrival there to meet his family members after his release from jail.
Meanwhile, the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) Officers Association has taken the issue seriously.
'The act of the Bokaro deputy commissioner was not appropriate and we have not words to condemn the incident,' said R.S. Sharma, secretary of the IAS Officers Association here.
