He stands up to political pressure!

A zonal chief in the education sector has incurred the wrath of a political authority for refusing to carry out his order to transfer out all teachers in his area who participated in the recent strike.

The political authority had visited the teachers in the area and requested them not to participate in the strike. He had become furious when he found that they had paid no heed to his request.

The zonal chief is said to be a person who does not bend over backwards to please politicos. The political authority is now using his political clout to send out on transfer the zonal chief, they say.
