GUWAHATI, Aug 21: BJP MP Pabitra Margherita has defended government employees of the Sivasagar Deputy Commissioner’s office following a protest by employees after Raijor Dal MLA Akhil Gogoi allegedly misbehaved with them over alleged delays in flood relief work.
Margherita said the people or the law would decide on the question of misconduct, but government employees in the flood-affected districts, including district commissioners, had been working round the clock for the past month to deal with the flood situation.
He said the employees had been working with dedication to tackle the crisis, while noting that they had not been making “reels”.
“Belittling and insulting their sacrifice, work and hardships is not acceptable at all. Government employees are also members of our family,” Margherita said.
