Allegations echo from Delhi blasts and Jamia shootout. Is India losing the communication war?
Finally, after waiting for decades, the Supreme Court ordered establishment of three institutions at the state level with a view to insulating the police from extraneous influences, according functional autonomy and ensuring accountability. These included a State Security Commission to lay down policies and give directions relating to preventive and service-oriented functions of the police, a Police Establishment Board, comprising the Director-General of Police and four other senior officers to decide on all transfers, postings, promotions and a Police Complaints Authority at the district and state level to look into allegations of misconduct by police personnel. It is worth checking out if any of these mechanisms are in place. “Everyone loves cop bashing. They are under constant pressure to show results. Politicians use them as domestic servants and commission agents,” Tarun Vijay, Director of BJP’s Shyama Prasad Mukerjee Research Foundation, told B&E.
The crisis is compounded because there is no real-time intelligence. Questions CPM MP, Nilotpal Basu: “How does the police know who is hiding in a ghetto unless you have credible sources there and how can you have credible sources when a community (Muslims) is feeling alienated?” he asks. That is a point to ponder. When there is so much to be made of terror attacks, with the Karnataka government even unwilling to take action against Bajrang Dal thugs assaulting and intimidating Christians, a sense of discrimination is bound to set in. For India, that does not bode well. Organised and articulate, bleeding heart liberals are quick to condemn the police, freely distributing character certificates to non-state forces. Now with the latest blast in south Delhi’s Mehrauli claiming two lives, the circle of explosions and encounters appears to have become more vicious.
