CHANDIGARH: Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Saturday wrote a letter to bureaucrat Amneet P Kumar, wife of late Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar, who allegedly died by suicide, saying the incident "reveals that even the highest-level officers can be denied social justice on account of discriminatory attitude".
"The passing away of Mr Y Puran Kumar reveals that even the highest-level officers can be denied social justice on account of the discriminatory attitude and the preconceived notions of the powers that be. Crores of Indians stand with you in your fight for justice, " she wrote.
The incident will continue to remind "us that even today the prejudiced and biased attitude of those in power deprives even the highest-ranking officials of social justice".
