The BASA on Thursday filed a complaint against IAS officer KK Pathak and demanded his removal from the post after he allegedly used abusive language against government officials in a meeting.

In the video, IAS KK Pathak who is the Director General of Bihar Institute of Public Administration and Rural Development (BIPARD), can be seen using abusive language against government officials.

Tiwari while speaking to ANI said, "This person is of unsound mind. Even our Constitution says that people of such a mindset should never be offered administrative positions."

"We demand the rustication of KK Pathak. He used abusive words. We have submitted a memorandum to the authorities against him. We demand an inquiry into the matter by the respective authorities. The officer who is using this kind of language should be immediately sacked," he added.
