NEW DELHI: The human rights of security forces are far more important than that of terrorists and in case of doubt, benefit should go in the favour of security personnel, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said on Friday.
Speaking at the ‘FICCI Smart Policing Awards 2019’ on the second day of ‘Homeland Security 2019’ conference organised by FICCI and Vivekananda International Foundation, Singh, Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office, said the nation is eternally indebted to its security forces.
“The human rights of a security person is much more paramount as compared to that of a criminal or a miscreant or a terrorist,” he said to a thunderous applause by police personnel at the event from across the country.
“A nation which does not have the conscience to respect the sacrifices of its security persons is doomed to meet its imminent end by getting consumed by the same forces which it tends to appease,” he said after distributing awards to the police personnel.
Singh said the nation and the society as a whole are gradually getting conditioned to look at things in the eye instead of getting confused by duplicities. (AGENCIES)
