PUCL EXPRESSES ITS DISPLEASURE ON APPOINTMENT OF POLICE OFFICIALS WITH POOR RECORD ON HUMAN RIGHTS
People’s Union for Civil Liberties – Chhattisgarh Unit has expressed its displeasure at the appointment of some of the police officials in key positions by the State Government whose record at the human rights front has been poor and controversial. PUCL CG strongly believes that the last fifteen years of BJP rule in the state witnessed the worst violation of human rights; even then the former BJP Government had sidelined these police officials due to reservations expressed against these police officials by the established human rights institutions.
Thus, the PUCL-CG is surprised that the newly elected Congress (I) Government is not only reinstating such tainted police
Equipped with such a detailed documentation of utter violation of human rights and indulgence in illegal activities of these police officials inclusive of SRP Kalluri, PUCL – CG would approach the State Government to immediately withdraw their postings, order a detailed enquiry by a former judge of the Supreme Court of India and, subsequently, take appropriate action as per its report and recommendations. Till then, these officials must be kept out of action and circulation from duty.
PUCL – CG has also communicated to the State Government that it would continue to act as a Watchdog on these violations of human rights, would provide constructive criticism to government’s policies and programmes, and continue to mobilize public opinion and people’s struggles to restore democracy, resist corporate agenda, and fight fascist forces in the State.
