Rajasthan IAS officer @Sanjay_Dixit, who is a routine hate speech peddler & a campaigner for the sangh parivar ideology, is liable for suspension/dismissal under Rule 5, Central Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, 1964.

This is something I WILL vociferously pursue.

Rule 5:

“No Government servant shall be a member of, or be otherwise associated with, any political party or any organisation which takes part in politics nor shall he take part in, subscribe in aid of, or assist in any other manner, any political movement or activity.”

In the above tweet, IAS officer Dixit is in contempt of the Supreme Court.

Along with that, his Twitter TL making hate speech about “liberals” as well as Islam is not only a political activity but also a hate crime.

I shall be writing to Rajasthan CM @ashokgehlot51 ji in this regard requesting an immediate departmental enquiry against Dixit. While the enquiry happens he must be suspended.

In the event of no-action, I shall be approaching the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT)

Hate speech & violation of service rules by civil servants with a political agenda needs to be curbed. These are public servants paid by the taxpayer.

An example needs to be set to prevent blatant politicization of the Indian civil services.

Dixit MUST face action.
