Perform Fearlessly, I Back You: CRPF Chief To Jawans On Pellet Gun Row
CRPF Director General Gyanedra Pratap Singh assured his support to CRPF personnels after strong allegations over the use of pellet guns during CJP's 'Chalo Sansad' march on July 20.
CRPF Director General Gyanedra Pratap Singh's statement came amid reports of alleged use of pellet guns by security forces during CJP's 'Chalo Sansad' march on July 20. His statement came after growing criticism over the police and Rapid Action Force (RAF) response during the July 20 'Sansad Chalo' march organised by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). The student's march was started from Jantar Mantar towards Parliament, where clashes between protesters and security personnel triggered a controversy.
At CRPF investiture ceremony, CRPF Director General Gyanedra Pratap Singh said, "As the Director General of the CRPF, I want to assure each one of you that whether it is an operational battalion or a law-and-order unit, whatever decisions you take and whatever actions you carry out in the bona fide discharge of your duties, I take responsibility for all those decisions and actions. Continue to perform your duties fearlessly. Wherever responsibility or accountability needs to be taken, I will take it as the Director General."
Speaking to news agency ANI after the allegation on the RAF for using pellet guns on protestors during the March 20 towards Parliament, the CRPF chief said the force headquarters will present its official view after the conclusion of the "assessment".
