Says suo motu nature of suspension raises concerns about procedural propriety of process

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @T'Puram

THE war within the IAS ranks in the state has further intensified with suspended officer Prasanth N demanding a seven-point clarification from the chief secretary in response to the charge memo issued against him earlier this month.

The unprecedented move came after Prasanth was suspended from the post of special secretary, agriculture department, last month for his social media posts against his senior and additional chief secretary A Jayathilak and former industries director K Gopalakrishnan. Prasanth had earlier served a legal notice through his counsel to chief secretary Sarada Muraleedharan and the two IAS officers.
