Maintain dignity, Bedi writes to Pondy CM

The Lt Governor in a letter to the CM sent by mail which she shared with media, said, “The Chief Minister have been calling her and the constitutional office of the Lt Governor all kinds of derogatory names and heaping unfounded accusations over a considerable period. Last few days, it crossed the line of decorum, dignity and decency,” she said.

Bedi asked the Chief Minister to recall Lord Buddha’s words that “When any one abuses and the receiver does not accept, it remains with the abuser.”

Maintaining that the people at large were aghast at the language being used towards a Constitutional position and office, she expressed the hope that “You will desist from such a behaviour.”

“The office of the Lt Governor is totally focused on what Puducherry and its people need and is duty bound to ensure that people get what is due to them in letter and spirit,” she said in the letter.

She concluded asking the Chief Minister to learn “that there is a dignified space for a difference of opinion. Please take that route” and wished the Chief Minister “good health.”
