A photo of a woman IAS officer hugging a politician in Kerala has created a stir. In this case, female IAS officer Divya S Iyer has given an explanation regarding the photo. Her husband also responded positively.
Radhakrishnan was the Minister of SC and ST Welfare and Devasam Board in the Pinarayi Vijayan-led cabinet in the state of Kerala. He has been praised by various quarters for banning the use of the word colony for tribal settlements. Minister Radhakrishnan won the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections and became an MP. In this case, he has resigned from his minister and MLA post.
Divya S Iyer, a young IAS officer, is the Managing Director of Kerala’s Villincham International Port. He is a native of Tamil Nadu. Her husband Sabrinathan is a former MLA from the Kerala Congress party. Divya had a love marriage with Sabrinathan, a Congress MLA from Aruvikkarai constituency, when she was the Sub-Collector of Thiruvananthapuram.
In this case, on the day Communist Party MP Radhakrishnan resigned as minister, IAS officer Divya shared a photo of her hugging Radhakrishnan on her social media page. The photo went viral on social media. Many people shared this photo and gave various comments.
Sharing the photo, IAS officer Divya said, “When I was working as a district collector in Pathanam Thitta district, I was amazed by Radhakrishnan’s dedication when he took up the problems of tribal villages. When he sees the plight of the poor, he immediately understands and acts. The energy he gives to people like me is not insignificant.”
While that particular photo went viral, this is a picture I took on the 20th when I visited Radhakrishnan’s official residence and spent some time with his family. At that time, my husband and others were also there,” he said.
In a post published by IAS officer Divya’s husband Sabrinathan, he said, “When Radhakrishnan was a minister, after an official function, a photograph taken by visiting the collector’s house in Pathanamthitta went viral. He is happy that this picture is being discussed positively in the context of the existing gender equality.” He also said that there is no need to see negative comments about the photo.
Divya S Iyer has already become the talk of the nation a few times. A video of Divya, an IAS officer, addressing an event with her 3-year-old son in her arms has gone viral and created a mixed debate on social media.
Also, Divya created a sensation by saying that she was sexually molested by her own father at the age of 8 and threatened to do something to her brother if she spoke out. It is noteworthy that this issue caused discussions across the country.
