A sensible step

After facing criticism for the suspension of IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal, Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav is contemplating revoking her suspension. This shows that the party is finally concerned about its fast deteriorating reputation. By suspending an upright officer who sought to take action against the illegal sand mafia, the SP chose to protect the culprits. This was a regressive step. I am glad that at last good sense has prevailed.
