Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the Central Government
is bringing three new laws which will change criminal justice system in the
country.
The Home Minister attended Police Commemoration Day
and paid his tributes to police personnel, who lost their lives in the line of
duty at the National Police Memorial in the national capital.
Speaking at the event, Shah said, “In any nation,
border security or internal security is not possible without an alert police
force. I have observed that police duty is the toughest among all the people
serving the country. In any weather or festival, a policeman is always on duty
to maintain law and order. Whether it is terrorism, crime or huge crowds,
police have always been there to secure the lives of the common people. The
police of our nation have always proved itself on every point.”
“The Government of India is bringing three new laws
under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, which will change our criminal
justice system. All three were built during the British period. Now, not only
will Indianness be reflected in these laws, but the rights of every citizen
will also be protected in the spirit of our Constitution,” said Shah.
“In the coming days, the Prime Minister has called for
Amrit Kaal. 75 years of independence has ended, from the 76th year till the
centenary of independence, these 25 years are the time to take the country to
the top position in the world. For this, 130 crore people have collectively
resolved to do so,” Shah added.
Home Minister Shah further emphasized that due to the
contribution of police personnel, in the last one year, there has been a 65 per
cent reduction in terrorism, militancy and Naxal attacks.
“Whether it is an area of leftist extremism, be it the
North East states, be it Jammu and Kashmir. Our soldiers have succeeded in
keeping the situation normal at these three places,” he said.
“Keeping the zero-tolerance policy against terrorism,
we have not only made strict laws, but by setting up the Police Technology
Mission, it is our effort to become the best force against terrorism,” he
added.
‘Police Commemoration Day’ is observed every year in
memory of ten valiant Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) killed during patrol
duty in an ambush by heavily armed Chinese troops in Hot Springs, Ladakh on
October 21, 1959.
The Memorial includes a Central Sculpture, the Wall of
Valour and an underground Museum. As one enters the site, the flower-laden
ramparts with two large symmetrically placed bowls, laced with flowers,
symbolize the everlasting spirit of Police martyrs and their dedication.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated the National
Police Memorial to the nation on Police Commemoration Day on October 21, 2018.
The Memorial gives Police Forces a sense of national identity, pride, unity of
purpose, common history and destiny.
