Jawed Usmani Sacked

[Mohammed Mahmood]

The sacking of Mr Jawed Usmani, IAS, from the post of Chief Secretary, Uttar Pradesh, has come as a rude shock to all of us.

This is a man who had served quite ably and loyally as Mulayam  government's Chief Secretary in an earlier era.  For some time he had also served in the PMO, Government of India.  In 2012 he was made to leave his lucrative post at the World Bank to serve as Chief Secretary of the government headed by Mulayam's balak chalak.  It was not  because Usmani was a Muslim or controller of UP's Muslim electorate. It was simply because he was the most trusted and loyal officer of Mulayam. The Sanghis have a right to allege that he  was appointed to this post to "appease" the Muslims. But truth is that Mr Usmani himself is a nominal or hereditary Muslim whom the system has naturalized as an immaculately perfect pandit. He has nothing to do with the Muslim community or its travails. He's quite innocent on this count.

Then why has he been sacked summarily and so unceremoniously?  Be sure he is not personally accountable for the recent gangrape and murder of two dalit girls in the Badaun district. The direct responsibility for this crime falls on the shoulders of the UP home minister, home secretary, and the police hierarchy. Why have they not been sacked? If he has been sacked on moral grounds it is precipitous.  Prime moral responsibility rests in the first place with the illustrious balak chalak. If he has moral courage he should resign on moral grounds.

In my humble opinion the event has been used as a convenient excuse to get rid of a nominally nominal Muslim officer just to propitiate and appease the new god installed in New Delhi. Three cheers to Raj Guru's astute secularism.
