“Can the government give sanitary pads?” the girl student asked, to which IAS officer Harjot Kaur Bhamra replied, “Tomorrow you'll say the government can give jeans too. And why not some beautiful shoes after that?”

The IAS officer added, “You will eventually expect the government to give you family planning methods, condoms, too.”
