“I do not have faith in Gowri, Ganapathi or other Hindu gods. I will not worship them. I do not accept the concept of avatars of God. I will not do Sraardha Karma nor do Pinda Pradhaan. I do not believe in Rama, Krishna. I will not worship them”
You feel upset, enraged, inflamed, right? Well, this is what the children in Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society (TSWREIS) are made to say, believe everyday and seemingly TSWREIS Secretary RS Praveen Kumar is solely responsible for this! RS Praveen Kumar, IPS has been perpetrating anti-social activities by promoting anti Hindu ideology and corrupting the minds of children studying in schools, hostels run under the aegis of TSWREIS.
A function styled SWAEROES' Holy month named 'Bheem Deeksha' from March 15 to April 14 was organised by SWAEROES (Social Welfare AEORES) Organisation at Dhulikatta Village of Peddapalli District, Telangana where ancient Buddhist shrine existed. A video clip of the said function was circulated in social media showing RS Praveen Kumar and others taking a pledge with their hand stretched forward.
By taking the names of Gods and Goddesses belong to a particular religion the religion, Praveen Kumar who is serving as an IPS officer and holding responsible chair as Secretary to Telangana Social Welfare Residential Schools department schools, being in a highly decisive, authorized public bureaucrat openly spreading hatred against other religions is an uncalled for gesture.
The Central Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, 1964 GENERAL 3(1) (xviii) says: "Every Government servant shall at all times refrain from doing anything which is or may be contrary to any law, rules, regulations and established practices". The conduct of RS Praveen Kumar IPS in setting up SWAEROES organisation and carrying on hate and divisive propaganda is clear contravention of Rule No. 4 (2)(3) of Central Civil Service (Conduct) Rules 1964 which clearly states as below:
“-- 2. The Constitution of India is based on the principle of secular state and expressly prohibits any discrimination in favour of or against any person or classes of persons on religious grounds. It follows, that, though servants of the State are entitled in their private lives freely to profess, practise or propagate any religion, they should so conduct themselves in public as to leave no room for an impression to arise that they are likely, in their official dealings, to favour persons belonging to any particular religion. Such an impression is bound to arise in respect of a Government who participates in bringing about or organizing conversions from one religion to another and such conduct would be even more reprehensible if, in the process, he makes use, directly or indirectly, of his official position or influence.
In addition, the activities of SWAEROES in forcing children under their custody to hate a particular set of beliefs and adopt a new set of beliefs is a clear violation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Article 14 of the said convention clearly states as below:
1. Parties shall respect the right of the child to freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
2. Parties shall respect the rights and duties of the parents and, when applicable, legal guardians, to provide direction to the child in the exercise of his or her right in a manner consistent with the evolving capacities of the child.
3. Freedom to manifest one's religion or beliefs may be subject only to such limitations as are prescribed by law and are necessary to protect public safety, order, health or morals, or the fundamental rights and freedoms of others.
The dangerous nature of these activities become even more frightening considering that RS Praveen Kumar is an employee of a state-run institution and for the vulnerable society it may seem that his actions are backed by the state but in lawful terms his venomous actions could be deemed as institutionalized subversion of little children to serve his personal mala fide intents.
The Legal Rights Protection Forum in its official compliant to the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Jitendra Singh ji stated that RS Praveen had not only brought in disrepute for himself with his suspicious conduct but also to the pious institution and with it also the State Government that runs the institution. "Corrupting the minds of minor children and filling them with hatred is no less a crime than what certain religious extremists do to minor children by strapping explosives around them. In both the cases it is only those minor children and their bereaved families at a loss. Such poisoning of gullible minds will only make them into human bombs and it will be the entire society that will pay the price if people like RS Praveen Kumar are not dealt with an iron fist of law", it read.
The LRPF has further requested the Ministry to-
1) Lodge a FIR and immediately arrest RS Praveen and conduct a detailed probe on him and his organization SWAEROES.
2) Conduct a detailed probe on his source of Finances, donors and sponsors that helps him to conduct these anti social activities and freeze all bank accounts if any suspicious or dubious financial transaction has happened.
3) Immediately dismiss him from duty and initiate a departmental enquiry and hold all his employee benefits till the case is on.
Kumar who is an IPS Cadre officer has been appointed as the Secretary to the TSWREIS and has been continuing in the same position and department for more than 7 years of long period which is a contravention to general practice of Department of Personnel & Training. Besides this, he was recently promoted as Additional Director General of Police without having any experience in serving as a full time Police Officer.
Further, it is to note that RS Praveen Kumar, IPS and his team of SWAEROES members have reportedly taken complete control of hundreds of tax payer funded, government run educational institutions. They allegedly intimidate the teaching and administrative staff working in these institutions, conduct regular anti-Hindu meetings with minor school, college children and plant the seeds of hatred and division in young minds. The rules of these schools are also tweaked to deny holidays for Hindu festivals. Children are brainwashed and forced to take pledges not to celebrate their family faith and ancestral traditions.
The activities of Kumar and his organisation SWAEROES and their volunteers are allegedly stoking casteist sentiments amongst the vulnerable children and the society at large to create grounds for religious based conflicts and disruption of law and order. Forcing minor children to hate their ancestral faith and adopt a new faith is a serious violation of the fundamental rights of children as guaranteed by the Constitution of India. Such dubious activities in the name of welfare must stop and punitive measures must be adopted to bring such state actors working in a non-stately actor fashion to Justice in the larger interest of public peace and maintenance of Law & Order.
