Smita Sabharwal who is the first female IAS Officer to work in K Chandrasekhar Rao's CMO was miffed with the sexist article on her in Outlook magazine.
The Article titled as "No Boring Babu" reads: "The portfolio of a junior bureaucrat, who is posted in the Telangana CMs office, is a mystery. She used to be posted in a district earlier. But things changed all of a sudden after the elections. The lady is present at every meeting and seen in almost every official photograph sent out by the CMO. But what she does exactly is a puzzle. She makes a fashion statement with her lovely saris and serves as eye candy at meetings, admit leading party politicians. In fact, its this bureaucrat who calls up other officials in the CMO and asks them to come for meetings. She knows exactly what time the CM will arrive and leave the office. The lovely lady, known for her ethnic style, recently stunned all by appearing in a trendy trouser and frilly top at a fashion show. And for once, she wasnt sitting in an official meeting. But this appearance too made for a great photo op."
Smita Sabharwal served a legal notice to Outlook magazine and offered 15 days to respond, so that she would file a criminal case depending on the reply. The legal notice highlights the fact that the IAS Officer's hard work, dedication and excellence are completely ignored by the magazine just because of the fact that she being an attractive young woman.
