SRINAGAR: Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Law and Order, Vijay Kumar (IPS), on Wednesday said that JKP is an apolitical and professional force.
Responding to a question regarding the Director General of Police’s statement allegedly blaming regional political parties in the Kashmir Valley for being responsible for “Pakistan infiltrating Kashmir civil society and cultivating leaders of terror networks to further their electoral prospects”, the ADGP said that the top cop’s statement could be in his personal capacity and underlined that the JKP has always remained an “apolitical and professional” force.
“Jammu and Kashmir Police from the beginning has been an apolitical force. The DGP’s statement could be in his personal capacity. Jammu and Kashmir Police is an apolitical, professional, and impartial force,” Kumar told reporters while responding to a question on the sidelines of his visit to downtown Srinagar on Ashoora, marking the martyrdom anniversary of Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) and 72 martyrs at Karbala (Iraq) for the protection of Islam.
“Like previous years, Jammu and Kashmir Police installed a stall which is a good thing. Police have a role. Police have provided three-tier security and I appreciate it. Civilians have also made good and adequate arrangements,” Kumar said, according to GNS. He also paid tributes to the martyrs of Karbala. (GNS)
