The Food Corporation of India on Wednesday ordered a probe into a viral video purportedly showing a woman, believed to be an FCI employee, making objectionable remarks against India, and said a show-cause notice would be issued to her on Thursday.In the video, the woman, believed to be a manager or quality control official with the FCI, is heard saying, “India’s occupation of Kashmir is unjust, and it will remain unjust.” She also purportedly says that taking a government job does not mean a person becomes integrated into the mainstream and that getting a job would not change her “stand on India”.FCI General Manager I K Choudhary said the corporation was taking the matter seriously and was trying to establish whether the woman was its employee and whether the voice in the video was hers.”I will issue her a show-cause notice tomorrow seeking her response, following which a thorough inquiry will be conducted. If she admits that the video is hers, or if the probe establishes that she was the person seen in the video, we will take the strictest possible action,” Choudhary told reporters.’He’s my younger brother’: Jamie Lever reacts to viral wedding clips with Govinda’s son Yashvardhan AhujaChoudhary said the corporation conducts police verification of all its employees and that strict action would follow if the investigation confirms that the woman is an FCI staffer and made the remarks. However, he said it would be premature to reach such a conclusion before the inquiry is complete.The purported remarks have sparked a debate on social media, particularly because the woman is believed to be a Central government employee.In the video, she also refers to deaths in Kashmir over the past three decades, saying, “We cannot buy them in exchange for a job; we cannot sell them for a job.” She is also heard saying that being part of a “resistance movement” does not mean people stop being human beings and that they may need to take a job to meet their needs.The authenticity of the video and the identity of the woman featured in it could not be independently verified.
