Three senior officers of the Jammu and Kashmir police on Friday took to social networking sites, including Facebook, to refute the charge that the force is bereft of nationalism and patriotism feelings. They also said they don’t need any certificate of nationalism from anyone in the country.
Reacting to the criticism of the J&K police over its role played in containing protests at the NIT-Srinagar earlier this week, Baramulla’s deputy Superintendent of police Firoz Yehya wrote on his Facebook timeline, “Many of my colleagues have been asking and many more must be thinking ‘whose war are we fighting ’...All I can tell them is that this is just another phase and will pass. Further, Jammu and Kashmir police doesn’t need any certificate from people (in electronic media)”.
The post also reads,” We must continue doing the good work within the ambit of law and nothing shall deter us.”
The officer further said, “Good common people who we serve may be alienated with us for reasons more than one, and our good work shall certainly help us win their hearts.”
Mubassir Latifi who is the senior Superintendent of police (crime), said the police force “doesn’t need any certificate of nationalism or impartiality from those whose valour doesn’t extend beyond their keypads”.
He asserted the J&K police “is a saga of sacrifice and courage and has brought this state out of a madness called terrorism.”
His counterpart in the Shopian (south Kashmir) police, Shailendra Mishra, while addressing the protesting outstation students said, “Be responsible with your words, students. The J&K police is a nationalist force with high professional standards.”
State’s director-general of police K. Rajendra Kumar, a native of Hyderabad, visited the campus on Thursday to take stock of the situation. “Things will be alright soon. We’re on it,” he said.
