More than a hundred employees of Zila Parishad called for strike today against the incident of a social worker, Gunwanti Joshi, slapping a BDO Ramswaroop Prajapat outside Zila Parishad’s office on 16 March.

Employees of Parishad condemned the act of Gunwanti Joshi, which according to them insulted the officer and demanded legal action against her.

Officials under the banner of Rajasthan Gram Sevak Sangh presented a memorandum to district Collector and demanded a scrutiny of the work record of Joshi’s NGO and also demanded cancellation of the registration of her NGO.

As per Gunwanti Joshi, she slapped the BDO Prajapat after allegedly being subjected to mental and physical humiliation by the BDO and another officer Phool Singh Meena.

Joshi in conversation with UT said, “I am ready to give all records of my NGO but then they also have to give their details.” She also alleged corruption in the department.

“I am continuously getting pressurized but I will now approach Women Commission and if needed then I will also sit on Dharna at Jantar Mantar, Delhi” said Gunwanti Joshi.

Hemant Palival, Pradesh Mantri, informed that if no strict action is taken in next two days against Joshi then the strike will be continued.
