SHILLONG, JULY 8: The Civil Society Women’s Organization (CSWO) on Monday accused the Meghalaya government for violating all rules laid down particularly in the process of selecting for the DGP in the state.
Pointing out that the Supreme Court has laid down that the top three senior most IPS officers should be appointed as the DGP of a state, the CSWO president Agnes Kharshiing said in a statement issue, “But the Meghalaya government passed an Act to bring in the top 5 senior most IPS. Even that act was not respected and they had to bring in another IPS who is junior and in the 6-7 rank, superseding senior most officers.”
The CSWO said in Meghalaya all laws are being violated by those in governance and the police is running their own show and pointed out that when it comes to the arrests of influential people in the government the police do not even dare to make arrest despite cases filed against them and rise in corruption leading to violating of human rights.
Kharshiing alleged that good officers become a mere pawn in the hands of politicians.
The CSWO has requested the newly appointed DGP to be a “real IPS and refuse to entertain the untenable order passed down by those in government who by the act think they can demoralize a force with their pen. It said, “Laws have to be respected and the enforcers of the law have to show the way.” – By Our Reporter
