AdvertisingSources told The Indian Express that the government is also contemplating withdrawing medals conferred on officers for meritorious services. The host of punitive actions against the officers come just two days after Mamata Banerjee ended her ‘Save India’ dharna at Metro Channel in Kolkata after consulting with other opposition parties. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu was present at the dharna site when Banerjee announced her decision to call it off. This is a political ‘satyagrah’ — it was organised to save our democracy, to save our Constitution, to save our federal structure, to save the IAS officers, administrative officers, and to save the country. When we are fighting a battle collectively, I cannot take a decision without consulting all the parties of United India.”
