Mr. Gopi Reddy condemned the recent remarks made by few political leaders on honest officials.

Stating that leaders are passing remarks for their political mileage, Gopi Reddy advised the people’s representatives not to make such criticism on police officials. Such remarks would damage the self confidence of the officials.
