Mehbooba asks police to show restraint during crowd control 5/23/2016 11:52:30 PM S Tahir-ul Haq Early Times Report BARAMULLA, May 23: Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today impressed upon the Jammu & Kashmir Police and security forces operating in the state to calibrate with the policy of compassion adopted by the state government. The Chief Minister was addressing the passing out parade of 13th batch of 228 Constables at Police Training Centre Sheeri here. Addressing the Constables who passed out of the training center, the Chief Minister asked them to respect the Constitutions of Jammu & Kashmir and India while performing their duties. "The constitution protects the rights of people. Constitution also gives rights to people. Under the constitution, police has more responsibilities than rights. If a small incident takes place, the complaint will come to you as constables," said Mehbooba. She urged the police to set up a proper mechanism for engaging with the youth. She said that the life of a police officer should become an ideal for people in Jammu and Kashmir where security forces are often portrayed in a negative light. "Whenever any civilian dies, it undoes the efforts of reconciliation by the state government. The Army is doing an excellent job at the border by stopping infiltration. Police too should show restraint in dealing with law and order situations," said CM. Mehbooba said that she wants to take the state out of the whirlpool of violence that has broken the back of society and economy. She said that this is not possible unless the police and security forces apply balm on the wounds of the people. Mehbooba said her father Late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed wished to put a permanent end to the troubles of Jammu & Kashmir for which he joined hands with the NDA. "If you had not acted in time, we could have landed in a situation similar to countries like Syria, and Pakistan which have been ripped apart by acts of violence carried out in the name of religion. Your role is difficult because you have to tackle your own people. I can't tell you how to react when bullets are being fired at you. But during crowd control, we tend to over-react. We have to understand that these boys are our own and it is your responsibility to bring them into mainstream," she said.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
