JAMMU, Aug 27: Voicing concern over the developments both along the borders as also within the State, the former Union Minister and MLA, Prof Chaman Lal Gupta has stressed the need for screening of the belt force especially the State Police as also firm measures to tackle the enemical designs without loss of much time.
Commenting on the reports about the busting of the modules within the force and arrest of several police and other personnel indicate the wrought spreading but for the policies adopted by the Government leaders. This also adversely affects the good work done by the force, he added.
In this regard he particularly referred to the ill conceived modes of recruitment in the police and other agencies of the ultras and controversial characters ignoring all the rules and regulations; the results are obvious. But the State faced with internal and external dangers, can hardly afford such looseness. In the name of recruitment on the spot and rehabilitation of the surrendered militants many wrongs have been committed, he added and questioned that under what law and rules such recruitment was held and why it was confined to certain particular areas alone ignoring the due representation to different communities in the force.
About the increased incidents of violation of ceasefire, he said this well indicates the designs of the enemy as in the past such isolations were not without meaning. The happenings especially the discovery of long tunnel in the border area of Jammu itself speaks volumes.
The utterances and activities of the secessionists as also the reports about the publication of the anti India literature and the pasting of the anti national posters also needed to be taken a serious note, he added and stressed the need for acting before it is too late.
He welcomed the visit of the Union Home Secretary and other high ups to take stock of the security situation of the State but stressed that the visit must not be confined just a routine exercise as the situation may demand but the measures must be taken to set the house in order.
