Hon'ble Prime Minister ...
M essage

It is my privilege to be associated with the Golden Jubilee of the post-Independence


DGsP/IGsP Conference.

In many decades of public life, I have witnessed Police functioning on the beat,
at the Police Station, at the district, the State and Centre. In this vast country of
130 crore, the common thread seen among all Policemen and women at these
levels are sincerity, availability and sense of service. The absence of any of these
qualities would have led to chaos.

India is a pluralist country, where each and every individual is equal, despite
being different in religion, caste, creed, language, region or thought. However,
there are divisions, disturbances and strife. The sheer magnitude of chaos that
would have ensued, if the Police had not delivered as a professional force, is not
realised by many. Each day, each Police Station has to manage, resolve and decide
on multiple law and order situations, crimes and social problems.

I do understand that Police is under-resourced and has to be on call 24x7 even


on holidays. The Policeman rarely gets an opportunity to attend to his family, to
his children’s education or even to himself. He works constantly under stress and
is often the target of criticism. This is primarily on account of the nature of the
Police job, which involves restraint, detention and arrest, largely a job that entails
enforcement of coercive powers of the state.

During my last one and half year as Union Home Minister, I have realised the
enormity of security problems that our country faces. However, seeing the
commitment and professionalism of our Intelligence and Security agencies, I
have also developed faith that the country is in safe hands. In the last one year,
many successes have been achieved and by and large the country has remained
safe. I congratulate all Police/Security Force and Intelligence personnel for this
stellar achievement.

I hope this Coffee Table Book would be interesting reading given that it contains the
problems that Police officers faced at different points of time after Independence
and solutions that emerged on various national security and social challenges.

I wish Indian Police and Intelligence organisations all the very best for this Golden
Jubilee Conference.

M essage

Having been in the Intelligence Bureau for over three decades and attending
most of the DGPs/IGPs Conferences during this period, I am confident that the
compilation would be a delightful read.

It is a trip down memory lane taking me back to the glories that IB’s unseen and
unheard officers have achieved; difficulties that the rank and file endured and
the manner in which the goals were almost always achieved. The excitement of
working in the field is, even today, unparalleled. The thrill of planning intelligence
operations and being a part of many, makes me remember so many of my brave
colleagues in the IB and in the State Police forces.

From our senior Police colleagues at these Conferences, we heard stories of the
difficulties that the new nation faced in the 1950s and 1960s. However, with each
passing decade offering fresh challenges, it became increasingly difficult for the
police establishment.

Police has always been under-resourced. This has been a common refrain in all
Conferences. Situations on multiple occasions were such that the threat was not
just to public order but to the cohesiveness and very existence of the nation. The
States of Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland, Assam, Punjab and J&K come to my mind.
Unstinting resolve and highest measure of intelligence and Police professionalism
have kept this nation together.

Over the decades, this Conference has served as an excellent forum for all security
professional to connect, deliberate, argue and analyze. It is a platform to assess
the past and project the future.

A lot of hard work still needs to be done to keep this country safe and secure. The
emerging threat of ISIS, the projected decline of oil-dependent economies, the
internal strife in the Middle East and in some regions in our neighborhood, will
keep the future generations of security professionals on their toes. The need for
this Conference will therefore, not only remain, but get stronger.

The difficult task of preventing and detecting crime and tackling insurgency in a country with a population
of 130 crore with a civil police force of only 22 lakh is an enormous challenge. The terrorism sponsored and
supported from foreign soil during the last 4 decades has made the task of securing the people even more
difficult. This Conference and the communication links that it helps create between Chiefs of Police has
emerged as an important instrument of coordination.

He said that whenever there were social tensions, the
police officer in charge of the area should secure advance
information and take effective preventive action. If incidents
unfortunately broke out, he should take immediate action
to limit the trouble. It was with this in view that he had told
the Chief Ministers that officers of the area should be held
responsible for such incidents.

Elaborating on the need for a total reorientation of the


attitude of the police towards the people, Shri Desai said
that the police force should earn the respect of the people

not by instilling fear but through being alert and courteous.
Certainly, they must strike terror in the minds of th¬e
criminals, but in doing so they should never go beyond the
legal means. He wondered what right any policeman had to
liquidate even dacoits because the fundamental concept of
democratic society was that everybody should be treated only
according to the law. The police had to be firm, but even in
their firmness they should behave properly; only then would
they be able to have any rapport with the people.

The main function of the Government rested on the police


force. That was why the police had very wide powers. These
S. N. Mathur, DIB powers were necessary but had to be utilized with a certain

should be registered promptly. Even in cases where it was
not possible to provide redress, policemen should be able
to explain to the persons concerned instead of brushing
them aside brusquely. Authority should never degenerate
into authoritarianism. This could not be achieved by mere
rules alone, but by a proper understanding of one’s own
responsibility.

Referring to the general feeling that crimes had increased,


Shri Desai said this impression was largely due to the fact
that persons responsible for crimes were not being brought
to book quickly. If criminals were apprehended without any
loss of time, and if conviction was secured to them according
to the law, the situation would improve. The Prime Minister
remarked that ordinary citizen was generally law-abiding
and ought to have a friendly feeling towards the police. But
unfortunately, the wrong-doers were not afraid of the police,
whereas the law-abiding citizens were.

The Prime Minister advised police officers not to do anything


wrong even if someone above them were to ask them to do
so. He was glad that there were many officers who stood up
against wrong directives. But there were also may meekly

IA 814 was hijacked. UNSCR 1267 was passed on the situation in
Afghanistan and a sanction regime was enforced on Al Qaeda,

In those years...

Y
2K was a milestone for the emergence of Indian IT companies at the
global stage. Coupled with it came the dawn of information technology
and the potential array of its use for national security and crime control.
In the aftermath of Kargil, various committees and task forces delved deep
into the working of security agencies and several positive decisions were
made by a Group of Ministers. This landmark year saw America being attacked
by Al Qaeda by sea (USS Cole) after an attack on land in 1998 (Kenya/Tanzania
embassy bombings). Kashmir continued to be under attack with IEDs, car
bombs, land mines and rocket attacks, and the Red Fort was attacked as well.
L. K. Advani, HM UNSCR 1325 was passed to ensure peace and security for women.

In those years...

F
ree and fair polls were held in J&K, heralding much-needed
normalization in the valley, with the return of democracy and
public representation – an event which has contributed in very
large measure to have brought relative peace to the region in the
past 13 years. The terrorist attack on Akshardham temple in Gujarat
and the rising activity of Pakistani terrorists in the hinterland,
were a cause for concern. Inter-community tensions continued
to simmer. APJ Abdul Kalam became President of India. Al Qaeda
continued its deathly campaign with the Bali bombings in October.
A landmark event for economics was the initiation of the Euro as a
new currency.
