Violation of constitution?

The secretaries of various ministries have been asked to write articles.

A sector-wise compilation of the number of jobs created in the past four years.

These are expected to be widely quoted by the Hindu People Party in the campaign for the upcoming State elections and the 2019 Federal election.

Civil servants who are on the payroll of the tax-payers will act as public relations officers, of the party presently in power.

This is a gross violation of the constitution.

It violates the integrity of the civil service, and the fundamentals of its role in a democracy, governed by the rule of law.

The civil service must be politically neutral - and not propaganda machine of a party.
