PM asks police to combat terror, naxals with efficiency

New Delhi, Jan 5 (PTI) Listing terrorism, naxalism,
regionalism and communalism as four sources of strain in the
country's law enforcement, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh Tuesday asked the police force to deal with them with a
great deal of efficiency, commitment and a sense of equity and
fair play.

"But we are also dealing with our own citizens. If some
of them have gone astray, we must bring them to the path of
rectitude. But we must never forget that we are dealing with
our own people.
"Therefore, while enforcing law and order, I think we
must also be endowed with a spirit of fair play and equity.
These are some of the issues which I notice our people expect
from our police forces," Singh said addressing IPS
probationers at his residence here.
He said fundamentally the law and order situation in the
country today was under strain and "all these four areas are
of great concern and we have to ensure that they are not
allowed to harm the unity and integrity of the country".
Singh said there was trouble in various parts of the
country particularly in Central India and there were special
problems in North Eastern states and the northernmost Indian
state of Jammu and Kashmir.
"All these areas require sustained attention if India is
to retain a cohesive national identity", he said. (More) PTI
