‘Quarrelsome By Nature': Sarpanch's Savage Character Certificate Goes Viral – Was It Personal?
Last Updated: A Sarpanch's blunt remarks on a character certificate spark online buzz, hinting at a personal grudge A village Sarpanch has issued a character certificate containing unexpected remarks, prompting many to suspect the involvement of a personal grudge. The Role Of A Character Certificate Character certificates are often required for government-related procedures and are typically issued by local officials such as a councillor or Sarpanch, especially in rural areas. These certificates generally highlight the individual's positive traits to aid in official matters. However, if they contain negative comments, they can create complications in the process. A recent incident involving such a certificate has gone viral on social media, with many speculating about possible personal bias on the part of the issuer. An image shared on the Instagram page @santa_banta_jokes has captured widespread attention. The photo appears to show a character certificate, possibly fabricated, though seemingly authentic due to the specificity of the remarks. It belongs to Gyan Chandra Bairwa from Dausa, Rajasthan, and was reportedly issued by the Sarpanch of Jaisinghpura village in the Dausa district. Remarks Raise Eyebrows The certificate includes standard information such as the individual's name, father's name, and address. However, what stands out are the Sarpanch's written comments: 'I know him very well. He is a quarrelsome person. It is his nature to abuse." These remarks were accompanied by the Sarpanch's seal and signature, dated July 20, 2019. Understandably, such comments may have caused considerable issues for Gyan Chandra, though the motive behind them remains unclear. Online Reactions The Instagram post has received over a thousand likes, drawing a wave of amused and curious comments. One user quipped that the two must be best friends, while another joked this is what happens when your best friend becomes the Pradhan. A third commenter noted that, unlike most certificates, this one feels genuinely honest. view comments First Published: News viral 'Quarrelsome By Nature': Sarpanch's Savage Character Certificate Goes Viral – Was It Personal?
