NEW DELHI: Taking umbrage at recent remarks by AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal that he had chosen public service over being an Income Tax commissioner and “earning crores”, an association of revenue department officers on Friday shot off a letter to him saying such utterances were “unnecessarily damaging the image of the fine service”.

The Indian Revenue Service (Income Tax) all-India body, in a two-page letter to Kejriwal, points out that he had technically never worked in the post of a I-T commissioner. “Contrary to your claims, you have never worked as Commissioner and your batch has still not been promoted to (the rank of) Commissioners of Income Tax,” the association tells Kejriwal in its letter.
