Haryana MP’s Son Appointed AAG Sparks Outrage

Haryana  A recent appointment in the Haryana legal system has sparked a wave of criticism and emotional turmoil, as the son of a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament has been named Additional Advocate General (AAG). This decision has especially drawn ire from a young woman a former IAS officer’s daughter who had previously accused the man of stalking her in Chandigarh.

Taking to Instagram, the woman voiced her deep disapproval of the appointment. “How can someone facing such serious allegations be appointed to such a prestigious legal post?” she questioned. Her post quickly gained traction on social media, resonating with many who expressed similar concerns over merit, justice, and the image of governance.

The woman had filed a formal complaint in Chandigarh, accusing the MP’s son, Vikas (name changed), of following her repeatedly and making her feel unsafe. According to sources, the case involved multiple instances of stalking and unwarranted approaches, leading to serious mental distress. At the time, the police registered the case under relevant sections, and an investigation was initiated. However, the progress and outcome of that case remain unclear to the public.

This recent development—his appointment as an Additional Advocate General has reopened those emotional wounds. “This isn’t just about one incident,” the woman stated in another post.  It’s about the signal we send to all young women—about whether their voices matter in our legal and political systems.

Several netizens and civil society groups have echoed her sentiment, pointing out that while the accused may not yet be proven guilty, appointing him to such a high-profile legal post without complete closure of the case reflects poorly on the administration.

Legal experts are also weighing in. Senior advocate Priya Malhotra stated, While everyone has a right to employment and dignity, appointments to sensitive legal positions should carry an even higher standard of scrutiny. Pending allegations should be taken seriously, especially when public trust is at stake.

Political reactions have been mixed. Some BJP leaders have defended the move, saying it is a matter of legal merit and administrative procedure, while opposition parties have seized the opportunity to question the BJP’s commitment to women’s safety and justice. Meanwhile, the young woman continues to seek clarity and fairness. This is not about revenge or politics, she wrote. This is about basic accountability, justice, and my right to live without fear.

As the story develops, all eyes are now on the Haryana legal department and the state government to address the growing public concern over this controversial appointment. The case serves as a stark reminder that personal experiences and legal decisions often intersect in complex, emotional, and very public ways.
