New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Viksit Bharat’ in 2047 would be a drug-free and terror-free country. The country would have internal security and ensure protection of rights of citizens and human rights.
While interacting with the probationers of the 2023 batch (76 RR) of the Indian Police Service (IPS), Shah said that the trainee IPS officers should contemplate and reflect on the time at which they have become IPS officers.
In the Indian Police Service 2023 batch, a total of 188 officer trainees including 54 women officers have completed the Basic Course Training Phase-1. After two weeks of training with various Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and Central Police Organisations (CPOs) in Delhi, the IPS trainee officers will undergo 29 weeks of district practical training in their respective cadres.
He said that the trainee officers should contemplate because the batch that will emerge as IPS officers this time will have a bigger responsibility than the previous 75 batches.
Shah added, “The trainee officers should reflect because it is completely up to them and the batches coming after them whether our country will change the scale and enter the next generation of policing or not.”
Shah said that as the Home Minister of the country, he can definitely say that now no one has the courage to insult the borders and the army.
He further said, “We have done a lot to provide tight security to our borders and the rest is being done. Earlier Jammu and Kashmir, North East and Left Wing Extremism affected areas were the three sores, but now we have succeeded in reducing violence by 70 per cent in these three places.” He said that today Indian agencies have complete dominance in these three hotspots.
The Home Minister said that the culture of making both demands and aspirations for change through the democratic process has reached the bottom, due to which the big protests that were seen earlier have now ended.
Shah said, “Now the time has come that the police system should come forward to protect the fundamental rights of our citizens, the police system should be alert to minimize the crimes happening within the borders of the country and the time has come that we should be able to give justice to the citizen in the shortest possible time.”
