The Dhaka Times Desk Those who are in the highest power of the state are friends of the people. But is this the model of being that friend? A minister kicked for begging! Conscientious people are shocked by such cases.
A 14-year-old boy begged a minister. Perhaps hoping to get some money, that teenager sat on the feet of the minister. But giving alms is far from the thing, the minister kicked the boy, annoyed by the crime of asking for alms. Not only that, then the minister's security personnel started beating the teenager. This incident has now gone viral. Because a video of the incident went viral after it surfaced on social media. A minister who is elected by popular vote or not. If he himself behaves like this with ordinary people, then what will others do?
Last Sunday, such an incident took place in an event of the foundation day of Madhya Pradesh, India. It is known that Animal Resource Development Minister Kusum Mehdel kicked a teenager for begging.
According to a report in Zee News, Animal Resource Development Minister Kusum Mehdel visited a bus stand in Panna area of BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh. He participated in an event there. At the end of the ceremony, when Minister Kusum was going to get into the car, a 14-year-old boy grabbed the minister's feet and asked for alms. Minister Kusum tried to move forward by kicking the teenager. But the minister's security guards dragged the boy away as he did not leave.
It is known that the video footage of the kicking of the Madhya Pradesh minister went viral on social media. Various human rights organizations in India have demanded the resignation of Kusum Mehdel after the matter became widely publicized.
It should be noted that such complaints were made against Mehedel several times before. At an event in Damoh district, he faced controversy by saying that 'no farmer can commit suicide'. He came under fire for making comments aimed at farmers who commit suicide due to poor agricultural production. Again last March, this controversial minister Mehdele was in the face of controversy by proposing to bring a law to make tigers and lions domestic animals.
