The Odisha-born former Chairman of the National Knowledge Commission, who was heavily criticised by the Odisha BJP for his “absence” during the RansomWare virus attack in the state, posted a series of tweets to clear his stand.
Here are his tweets:
Thank you for your @BJP4Odisha repeated tweets, related to my role and responsibilities in #Odisha.
I appreciate and share your @BJP4Odisha @otvnews concerns for the people of #Odisha.
My role and responsibilities are very clear to me and I take it seriously for the people of #Odisha
At 75 with 50 years of experience, I do not need advice from you @bjp4Odisha on what and how to execute.
At 75 nor do I need salary, titles, privilege and perks of any type. Titles do not matter to me.
I agreed to help #Odisha because of my love and respect for the Hon’ble CM @Naveen_Odisha and the people of #Odisha – my birth place…
I do not understand how One Rupee Salary is considered a hoax by you all. Does it mean that taking salary is not a hoax ??
Regarding #WannaCry I have little to add. Cyber Security related issues are serious matters world over and need domain experts.
To educate yourself @BJP4Odisha I recommend that you read my recent Biography Dreaming Big:My Journey2Connect India.
