AAM AADMI PARTY DEMANDS SETTING UP OF
CITIZENS SECURITY FORCE
DEMANDS IMMEDIATE REMOVAL OF HOME MINISTER
AND DELHI POLICE COMMISSIONER
The recent incident of rape of 5-year old girl in Gandhi Nagar has once
again raised question about women safety in the National Capital. After Damini
incident shook the entire country in December, tall claims were made by the
government about security of women and subsequently a law was passed. Unfortunately,
despite all these nothing has changed much – not even the attitude of Delhi
Police. The common people of Delhi have started losing faith in Delhi Police. The Delhi Police should be given 2 months time to
rectify its past failures and regain the faith of people, else Aam Aadmi Party
proposes the setting up of Citizen’s
Security Force for ensuring that no girl child or women goes through what
Damini and now Gudiya has gone through.
The Citizen Security Force will be formed on the lines of Nitish Kumar’s
State Auxiliary Police (SAP) in Bihar and would be supervised by retired Army
officers. Young people would be enrolled in the Force would be given commando training
to handle all kinds of situation, especially those related to women safety. These
cadets would work under retired army officers and would be present at Ward
level. This force would work as security guards and would ensure security of all
Delhi-ites at all possible levels. When Aam Aadmi Party comes to power this
would be one of the priority areas and would be implemented at the earliest. Unlike
other parties, where VVIP security is given more priority, AAP would focus on
security for aam aadmi of the national capital.
Not
even 48 hours have passed that several incidents of insensitiveness
of police has come to the fore – in East Delhi itself. A 25 year old
girl working in Dharmshilla Hospital has been missing for the past one
week.
The police filed an FIR after 3 days of the incident. When her worried
parents
went to the Police Station to follow up the case, the police inspector
on duty told
them, “Kahin ghumne gayi hogi, 14-15 din baad khud vapas aa jayegi.” In
another shocking case, a 14-year old girl was kept in confinement and gang raped
from March 14-24. When the girl’s parents went to get a FIR filed, the police
refused to do so initially. Finally the case was registered after the parents
mounted pressure on the Police. Unfortunately, the girl who was not able to
cope up with the incident consumed pesticide and is now battling for her life
in Hegdewar Hospital in Karkardooma.
Who is responsible for the plight of these young girls? Delhi Police and
Delhi Government is equally to blame. Whenever such an incident comes to light,
Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit quickly brushes aside all allegations
against state government by saying that the Delhi Police does not come under
the state. The Congress also rules at the Centre – so is this not a clear case
of match-fixing between Sheila Dikshit and Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde. On
the other hand, the Delhi Police on its part has suspended a few junior
police-officers for the sake of taking some action. After a few days, the
officers who are suspended would be reinstated and continue their service,
without anyone noticing. Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister have expressed their
grief over the incident. How will the statements of PM expressing grief ensure
security to women? What is his action plan? Does the solution lies in reforming
Police?
The solution to this is setting up of a Special Security Force dedicated
to women. The country has heard enough of assurances and verbal promises, it is
time for action now. Aam Aadmi Party demands removal of Home Minister Sushil
Kumar Shinde and Delhi Police Commissioner at the earliest.
AAM AADMI PARTY DENIES REPORTS
OF FIGHTING JOINT ELECTIONS IN ARUNACHAL PRADESH
It has been reported today that Aam Aadmi Party
would jointly contest elections along with NCP and People Party of Arunachal (PPA)
in forthcoming panchayat and municipal elections in the Arunachal Pradesh. Aam
Aadmi Party wishes to clarify that the news is completely false and baseless. Aam
Aadmi Party has no plans to contest panchayat and municipal elections in
Arunachal Pradesh, let alone fighting jointly with NCP and PPA.
