FCI Launches Probe After Viral Clip Shows Purported Female Staffer Making Objectionable Remarks on Kashmir
JAMMU: The Food Corporation of India (FCI) has launched a formal investigation following the emergence of a viral video in which an alleged female staff member is heard making contentious and anti-India statements. The authorities confirmed that a show-cause notice will be served to the employee seeking an explanation.
The woman captured in the circulated footage is purportedly an FCI official working in the Quality Control or Management cadre. In the video, she can be heard declaring, “India’s occupation of Kashmir is unjust, and it will remain unjust.”
Addressing media persons regarding the matter, FCI General Manager I K Choudhary stated that the corporation is treating the incident with utmost seriousness. He noted that administrative procedures are currently active to verify whether the individual shown in the video is currently employed by the organization and whether the audio matches her voice.
The General Manager emphasized that standard police verification protocols are routinely conducted for all recruits. However, he stressed that severe punitive action would strictly depend on the outcome of the ongoing investigation, cautioning that drawing early conclusions before the inquiry finishes would be premature.
The video has triggered widespread controversy across social media networks, largely due to the individual’s purported status as a Central government employee. Throughout the clip, the woman makes several ideological remarks regarding public service employment.
She purportedly stated that securing government employment does not signify alignment with the mainstream narrative, remarking: “If we are part of a resistance movement, it does not mean that we stop being human beings. We have our needs, and for those needs, you may need to have a job. If you get a good job, you take it.”
She further claimed that holding a government post would not alter her ideological stance on Kashmir, making references to past fatalities in the valley and stating that such losses cannot be traded or compromised for professional employment.
