No policeman has resigned in J&K: Home Ministry | | | Agencies
New Delhi, Sept 21: Following the killing of three police personnel by terror group Hizbul Mujahideen, the home ministry on Friday said that no policeman has resigned in Jammu and Kashmir and described such reports as "false propaganda" by "mischievous" elements. The home ministry in a statement said reports have appeared in a section of the media that some special police officers (SPOs) in J&K have resigned, but the state police has confirmed that these reports are "untrue and motivated". "These reports are based on false propaganda by the home ministry said Jammu and Kashmir has a professional and committed police force, which is fully geared up to meet the security challenges, including those related to the upcoming panchayat and urban body polls. "There are over 30,000 SPOs and their services are reviewed from time to time. Some mischievous elements are trying to project that those SPOs whose services are not renewed due to administrative reasons, have resigned," it said. The ministry said militants are on the backfoot in J&K and 28 militants have been neutralised this year alone in Shopian district, where the Friday incident took place. "Due to pro-active actions of the state police, militants have been pushed to a corner and are being driven to desperation," it said. The three policemen were abducted from their homes in south Kashmir's Shopian district and shot dead in cold blood by the Hizbul Mujahideen, police said. |
