Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav refuses to back down on the chargesheet of IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal.
Speaking to the media today, Yadav said, "If officers make mistakes, they are punished, just like children are punished in school. If any IAS officer follows in her footsteps, the same will happen to them."

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi has spoken out in support of the officer."There are rules and rules will be followed", said Dr Manmohan Singh hours after a defiant Uttar Pradesh government slapped a chargesheet accusing Durga Shakti Nagpal of flouting norms and lacking administrative acumen.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Saturday had asked the PM to "ensure that the IAS officer was not treated unfairly."
