“I express regret if my words hurt any girl’s sentiments. I didn’t intend to humiliate anyone or hurt anyone’s sentiments,” Bamhrah said in her letter in Hindi.

On Tuesday, the senior IAS officer snubbed a girl student when she asked why the government did not provide them sanitary pads. “They (students) will demand jeans, good shoes and finally contraceptives for family planning” was Bamhrah’s response to the girl.

When the girl argued that the government was duty-bound to give them certain facilities as politicians seek votes, the IAS officer quipped: “Mat do tum vote, sarkar tumhari hai. Ban jao Pakistan (do not vote, its your government. Become Pakistan). Do you vote in lieu of money or amenities?”

While expressing her regret, Bamhrah pointed out in the letter:  “The patriarchal society teaches girls to stay dependent on others for their needs. By highlighting the differences in the worlds of men and women, young girls are also taught to feel helpless. Girls are also made to believe that they are unsafe in the outer world. Often girls are influenced to such an extent by this kind of upbringing that they don’t walk on their road to success despite multiple solutions around.”
