Raipur, Jun 02: Don’t be deterred or demoralised by the criticism from human rights activists, political parties, media or anybody else. Just enforce law and hold your head high.
This is the morale-boosting message from Home Minister P Chidambaram to the security forces which often come under attack while dealing with the problems of naxalism and terrorism.
“I want you to know that despite criticism from every quarter? from hapless citizen to arm chair pundit, from defence lawyer to learned judge, from political parties to civil society organisations and from editorial writers to television anchors ? you should be proud to wear your uniform and perform your duties.
“Because, when hit by a crisis or a tragedy, everyone- and I mean everyone- turns to the police. More often than not the presence of a policeman is reassuring.
