IAS officer who quit in Aug told to join duty; he says no way
Ahmedabad:11.04.2020
The government has asked IAS officer Kannan Gopinathan, who quit the elite service eight months ago “over denial of freedom to the people of Jammu & Kashmir”, to immediately join duty in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic, but the bureaucrat said he won’t resume work.
The government has asked Gopinathan to join duty on the ground that his resignation has not been accepted yet. Gopinathan termed this an act of harassment by the government and refused to join duty, saying he is ready to volunteer his service to people during the crisis but not as an IAS officer. “I know that they want to harass me further. But still, I offer to volunteer for the govt in these difficult times. But not rejoining IAS,” Gopinathan tweeted on Thursday night, posting a photo of his official response to the government. PTI
