Bihar Deputy CM Declares Rule of Law as Government's Top Priority
In a firm statement addressing growing concerns, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary asserted on Thursday that establishing the rule of law in the state is the government's foremost priority, with no laxity tolerated in this regard. His remarks come at a critical juncture, as the state government faces mounting opposition attacks over the mysterious death of a medical aspirant and the overall law and order situation in Bihar.
Police Given Free Hand to Combat Criminal Elements
Speaking to reporters after attending a religious function at the residence of newly elected BJP national president Nitin Nabin in Patna, Choudhary revealed that the state police have been granted a free hand to take decisive action against criminals. He emphasized that there is no political pressure on the police administration, allowing them to operate independently to maintain peace and order across the state.
Countering Opposition Allegations on Law and Order
As the home minister, Choudhary directly countered the opposition's allegations regarding law and order, stating that police are continuously taking action against criminal elements. He expressed confidence that this proactive approach by law enforcement would lead to a reduction in the crime rate and bolster public confidence in the system.
Choudhary elaborated, The government believes that the freedom given to the police will not only instil fear in criminals but also strengthen the public's trust in the system. He reiterated that the state police are active on all fronts and fully capable of preventing any untoward incidents, underscoring their readiness to tackle challenges head-on.
Focus on Public Security and Government Commitment
The deputy chief minister's statements highlight a renewed focus on public security amid recent controversies. By empowering the police and ensuring their operational independence, the government aims to create a safer environment for all residents. This move is seen as a direct response to criticisms and a step towards reinforcing governance in Bihar.
As the situation unfolds, the government's commitment to law and order remains under scrutiny, with Choudhary's assurances setting the tone for future actions. The emphasis on a zero-tolerance policy against criminal activities signals a determined effort to restore and uphold the rule of law in the state.
