Manmohan Singh asks police officials not to misuse office | Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh has asked police officials to refrain from high-handedness. Taking a dig
at top police officials misusing their office and clout, Dr. Singh called upon
them to respect the fundamental rights of the citizens and work within the framework
of law. "The fundamental rights of our citizens, - our state exists to guarantee
these fundamental rights. And therefore in administration of justice, one increasingly
hears complaints of high-handedness of officials, sometimes they happen to be
the police officials. So I think it is very important that in discharging your
responsibilities, the enforcement of law and order must be endowed with the spirit
that is consistent with what is stated in the Constitution of India," Dr Singh
said, while addressing the 61st batch of Indian Police Service (IPS) probationers
here on Tuesday. Reflecting that fundamentally the law and order situation in
the country is under strain, he said, all these four areas are of great concern
and it has to be ensured that they are not allowed to harm the unity and integrity
of the country. Dr Singh said that while tackling law and order, the police officers
should be guided by the underlying principles of the Constitution. ''Your final
Bible must be the Constitution of India. Our State guarantees certain fundamental
rights. In administration of justice, one increasingly hears complaints of high
handedness of officials, sometimes they happen to be police officials. So I think
it is very important that in discharging your responsibilities, the enforcement
of law and order must be endowed with the spirit that is consistent with what
is stated in the Constitution,'' he added. |
