In an article in ThePrint, a retired additional director general of the Border Security Force, Sanjiv Krishan Sood, parroted a line he has been saying ever since he hung up his boots. In his view, IPS officers are unfit to lead the Central Armed Police Forces.
This time, he used the controversy surrounding the remarks allegedly made by the inspector general of police (IGP) Kashmir Zone Vijay Kumar at a closed door meeting about the working of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in the Kashmir Valley. With a self-righteous indignation that barely disguises his ignorance of the larger perspective, Sood continues to push his agenda of running down the Indian Police Service (IPS), questioning it not just for its leadership role in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF), but in other police organisations too.
Malicious campaign
It is not just Sood. Ever since a signal communication dated 29 April by a CRPF commanding officer was leaked on 8 May, ahead of a crucial meeting on Kashmir chaired by the National Security Adviser Ajit Doval on 9 May, a section of serving and retired CAPF officers have taken to social media, under real and assumed names, to heap abuse and indignation against the IPS leadership.
Some of their remarks are downright obnoxious and reveal the extremely poor levels of discipline and decorum that prevail among this disgruntled section of the CAPF cadre. Given that IGP Kashmir Vijay Kumar has won all his gallantry medals during his service with J&K Police, and not with the CRPF, the demand by Sood that he return his medals, reveals an ignorant mindset.
A section of serving and ex-CAPF cadre officers have been writing against the IPS presence in CAPFs for a while now. Their aim is clear: to totally oust the IPS from the CAPFs through a sustained negative campaign in the media.
This group has created a huge corpus through donations by CAPF officers that is being funnelled through NGOs into litigation against the IPS? They are also lobbying the government for their cause, and wherever possible, creating controversies involving IPS officers and the CAPFs that are completely at variance with the facts. The latest controversy involving Vijay Kumar and the CRPF is a part of that game.

Why IGP Kashmir is not at fault
We need to understand the architecture of the security grid in Kashmir. The 15 Corps of the Indian Army has overall responsibility for the Line of Control and the BSF works under its operational control. In the hinterland, the Jammu Kashmir Police, represented by the Kashmir Zonal IG is the nodal agency for all counter-terrorist operations. While the Rashtriya Rifles of the Indian Army and the CRPF do have the mandate to carry out independent operations, in practice they work in close cooperation with the J&K Police, and the IG Kashmir is the officer responsible for coordinating operations.
Given this framework, if in a closed door meeting on 29 April, the IG Kashmir pointed out some operational lapses—3 soldiers of CRPF’s 179 Battalion were killed in Sopore on 18 April–he was not only exercising his lawful authority, but also doing his duty.
Strangely enough, the CO of 53 Battalion, which had nothing to do with the incident, sent a letter, complaining about this reprimand to his superiors in the CRPF.
On 4 May, the 92nd Battalion of the CRPF lost three men and two weapons in another gunbattle with the millitants in Handwara.
This saga of wounded pride would be more credible if any of the honourable COs of the CRPF had protested at the meeting before DGP J&K Dilbag Singh, or shown the courage and the ingenuity to identify the militants who killed CRPF personnel, and brought them to justice. But, their wounded pride is too busy attacking IGP Kashmir and the IPS.

An outrageous claim
It is an outrageous lie to claim, as Sood does, that the J&K Police does not appreciate the contributions of the CRPF and other CAPFs. Last year, of the 125-odd medals that the CRPF was awarded for gallantry, 95 were won in J&K. And more than 75 of these were in joint operations with the J&K Police. In contrast, the largest deployment of the CRPF continues to be in the Left Wing Extremism affected theatre, where both operational achievements and gallantry medals are in short supply. So to accuse IG Kashmir and J&K Police of being biased against the CRPF, is both full of malice and demonstrably false. Instead of mounting a vicious campaign against a decorated IPS officer, the disgruntled elements in the CAPF cadre, and especially the CRPF, must indulge in some serious introspection.
Sood has taken an isolated episode and twisted it to suit his anti-IPS agenda. It is not an innocent act. In the context of Kashmir, it amounts to inciting disaffection in the forces, and I do hope that he faces the legal consequences of his disgraceful action.
Serving DGs of the CAPFs must decide if they want to continue being indifferent to this naked display of insubordination and self-interest and thus embolden these unscrupulous elements abusing the IPS and the government on social media, or take decisive action against them. Their continued silence will have damaging consequences for the discipline and morale of all these forces.

Understanding the rot within
Once we understand the bizarre and totally false sense of outrage built around this non-issue, we can appreciate this episode in the larger context of the declared aims of Sood and his band of disgruntled brothers.
This behaviour by the dissatisfied elements in the CAPF cadre is guided by the belief that the interests of the CAPFs and their organisational objectives in the service of the nation should only be guided by the career aspirations of their cadre. Nothing else matters to them. The constitutional imperatives of federalism do not matter. The design of the All India Services that dictates the recruitment and deputation profile of the IPS, does not matter. The demonstrably superior quality of the candidates that qualify for the Civil Services does not matter. Their own history–all of them have been created and nurtured by generations of distinguished IP/IPS officers–does not matter.
Instead, Sood and his ilk are peddling a narrative based on outright, self-serving lies. Their claim equating the calibre and training of the CAPF with the IPS, is demonstrably false. This is reflected in the stance of the Union Public Service Commission and the Ministry of Home Affairs in various court cases and in successive pay commissions where the primacy of the IPS has been reiterated.

An agenda of a small group
The likes of Sood want us to believe that the interests of the directly-recruited officer cadre is the same as the organisational interest, and the national interest. The CAPFs exist to serve the public interest, not the other way around.
Of the nearly 1.1 million sanctioned strength of the CAPFs, less than 20,000 posts are sanctioned for the officer cadre. So are we to believe that the career aspirations of less than 2 per cent personnel should guide all policies vis a vis the CAPFs? This is both an extraordinary and rather absurd expectation.
It will be far better to focus on the career aspirations of nearly 80,000 Inspectors and Sub Inspectors who constitute the functional backbone of the CAPFs and who are no less heroic or committed when compared to the officer cadre. If the government really wants to make a lasting change in improving the general morale and performance of the CAPFs, addressing the stagnation in the Subordinate Officer cadre, and the constabulary, would be a more appropriate intervention.
This is not to suggest that all is well with the All India Services and the IPS. There also, reform is desirable and must be part of a continuous process of improving our quality of governance. However, to think that the need for reform must be guided by the naked self-interest of a cynical and shrill class, like Sood and his disgruntled supporters in the CAPF cadre, would be a mistake. They may protest and heap indignation on the IPS, but they are not making an argument against privilege. Theirs is an argument against merit. And no tissue of lies in their support can disguise this bitter truth.
Abhinav Kumar is IG, Provisioning and Modernization, Uttarakhand Police. Views are personal.
Being a civilian n a layman I’m in a better position to review the situation. All over India, from a labourer to a businessman; and a teacher to a lawyer; everybody feels that the IPS are d symbol of corruption.
Mr Abhinav’s undignified comments show him in a very poor light. Must take some classes from some military general on how to behave.
The Army generals , esp CDS Gen Rawat should extend a helping hand to CAPF as they are their sister org.
Dear Shri Abhinav Kumar,Your statement–‘Their claim equating the calibre and training of the CAPF with the IPS, is demonstrably false’. What a humorous joke? Does it mean that IPS should have sine cure jobs in states where there are 134-15 DGs instead of having one DGP. Most of these posts are sinecures, superfluous and can’t keep them busy for even half an hour.There ought to be a pyramidal structure in IPS in the states for better discipline and control.They make mockery of the system where the officers at L 14 to L 17 level feel themselves irrelevant, their job and workload and hence their own contribution is no match to that of several junior level officers like SPs in the districts. What is the contribution of DG(Police Manual Vol. I) and DG(Police Manual Vol. II) . Funny thing is these manuals never get written.Your another contention’ It will be far better to focus on the career aspirations of nearly 80,000 Inspectors and Sub Inspectors who constitute the functional backbone of the CAPFs and who are no less heroic or committed when compared to the officer cadre’. This is more true of SIs and Inspectors in State Police Force who deal with the public. Vast improvement i their training and behaviour is required where IPS should play a pivotal rule.At present the public respects army more than the police.It’s for IPS to be more professional and their growth above the level of SSP should be based on their performance and suitability. Simply based on an examination, one can’t claim to rise to L-16 or L-17 holding a superfluous post created just to accommodate the entire batch.The civil service exam is not as tough as you make out to be. I qualified in civil service exam in 1972 . My roll number was 2023.

Sitendra Kumar
IG Kashmir being the operational head of Kashmir zone has all the rights to bring out the incompetence of the CO/AC in case of any casualties of Crpf jawans in the valley.This does not mean that he attacked the CRPF organisation as such. CRPF is a large force which has many competent officers but at the same time there are many incompetent officers also..To point out their mistake in a closed door meeting is very much under the authority of IG Kashmir..Did he say anything in media or on any open platform against the force..NO..This whole episode was twisted and made IPS vs CAPF issue by some miscreants to suit their own agenda or to hide their incompetence..It’s hard to believe that an official letter which got viral and that too written by a Commandant who was not even present in the meeting is right or wrong, whether it’s words were twisted or framed..An inquiry is needed how a letter under an Official Secret Act was made viral …An enquiry is needed to ascertain the facts…
Dear mr abhinav, as you are holding a senior rank and post in uniform services, salutation to your superiors must be like that. U r not addressing someone common. Its basic courtesy which is taught in all police academies. Hope u don’t missed that valuable periods during your academy days
IG kashmir being the operational head of kashmir zone has all the rights to bring out the incompetence of the concerned CO/AC in case of any casaulty of crpf jawans in a closed door meeting…This doesnt mean that he attacked Crpf Organization as such…Crpf is a large force with many competent officers but at the same time there are many incompetent officers also…To point out their mistake to prevent any further casaulty of jawans in a closed door meeting was very much under the authority of IG kashmir…Did he say anything in media or in any open platform..NO…so how can one beleive that the signal that was purposely made viral was correct or not and that too by a Commandant who was not even present in the meeting…This whole episode was twisted and was made IPS vs Capf issue by some miscreant elements just to suit their own interest and to hide their incompetence….
I remember it was u who intimidated young lady officers of CAPF over Twitter campaign. And recently used unparliamentary lang for CAPF officers. Get some life b4 u rant over issues with half or perhaps zero knowledge.
This matter is now of implementing hon’ble courts order in letter n spirit.
Hw imbecile one can be?
IG kashmir being the operational chief of kashmir zone he has all the rights to bring out the incompetence of the concerned CO and AC in case of any casaulty of crpf jawans in a closed door meeting…This does not mean that he said anything against the Crpf Organization as such…In a large force like Crpf there are many competent officers but at the same time there are also many incompetent officers a
who are just parasite…To suit their own interest this whole episode has been twisted and made it anIPS vs Capf issue….Neither IG kashmir said anything in media nor in any public flatform…It was a closed door meeting and it was only against the incompetenceof the concerned CO and not againstthe force…So please stop this fruitless debate…
As far as the level of corruption in capf is concerned it is not a hidden fact about the prevalent corruption in Capf..A Capf officer never hesitate to make money out of the rashans and basic amenities meant for the jawans….In the name of renovation of their mess their whole house gets renovated ..How come a Commandant rank officer buys 3 to 4 flats in delhi within a short period of service. Its an irony that the Jawans,Inspector and sub inspector rank of officer of Capf admire an IPS officer more than their own cadre officer because they know it very well that an IPS officer cannot fall to such a low level by making money out of the rashans and basic amenities of jawans…So before pointing finger on others their is a need to introspect the level of corruption among the cadre officers…
Who told you that IPS Officers are the most inefficient and noncorrupt. Except a few (5%) the remaining are the most corrupt to the hilt, but posing as the other way. They are cancerous to the society.
All India services were deemed to have been created under Art 312 (including All India Judicisl Service, if created) to maintain the federal structure of the administration among the states of the union. This arrangement is already in place.
Their induction in CRPF (therefore in CAPFs) was a stop gap arrangement and opposed by the JS & HS in their nothings fearing that it shouldn’t become a promotional avenue for the state police cadres, not a permanent feature. Neither there is any such provision in CRP Act for the continuance of this feature. The issue has been examined threadbare in the High Court of Delhi and reviewed in Hon’bke Supreme Court, both the hon’ble courts have pronounced their well discussed judgments in favour of the CAPF cadre officers.
The CAPFs which draw their personnel from highest formation down to section level from multiple states, are already federal in composition. The CAPFs don’t require deputation from state police officers of the rank of IG and above to supplement the federalism in these forces. More than the federalism in CAPFs they should worry to improve the level of law & order in their home states. Right now the rate of conviction of crimes is 84% in Kerala but 10% in Bihar with All India average stuck at 46%. These figures are 93% for US and 84.8% for UK. This may necessitate longer duration of tenures in Distts and raising the level of investigating officers (IOs).
In the light of these facts Does bear any rationale to call senior retired officers of these forces disgruntled or the adjective must heap on its ill-informed deserving owners.
CRPF has largest presence among CAPFs both in J&K and LWE infested states and her operational achievements & gallantry medal tally among all CAPFs and states have been largest.
Any field commander will vouch that the terrorist operations hence their results are highly dynamic with many variables in each case. Neither these are always a failure nor always a success. At higher command level an overall view is always preferred.
These virtues come with service seniority (length of service) we don’t blame you.
I have always thought that the IAS and IPS officers are one exam wonders. After clearing the civil service they suddenly become genius overnight. Suddenly a Arts graduate become masters in healthcare, economics to planning, management and everything in between. Likewise an engineering or medical student becomes superintendent of within few years of joining without doing much work on the ground level. This leads to I know everything attitude. This article reflects the same. Inter service rivalry is another thing, but the way this gentleman expressing his views in public against other police services, it shows his narrow thinking, nothing else.
I requested to Government of India. Remove all IPS Officers from CAPF. I Am also suggested promote Experienced officers who’s working in same force .Manage the force want experienced officer not a degree and more studied IPS officers.
The difference of opinion is between a specialist and a generalist.
Language or flowery language is the forte of the generalist. He knows how to win laurels with out moving out of a cosy air-conditioned office.
The speciallist lives by delivering on the requirements of the organisation ,unwept ,unhonoured and unsung .
The genesis of the problem lies in the inability of the IPS not being able to mind their own turf.
Now when things have gone out of hand they have to find fresher scapegoats
Hey wannabe, Abhinavji, remember your only claim to fame within the uniform fraternity was a picture of a BSF unit quarter guard, where a track pants/shirt and sports cap clad crazy man was being honoured.
Haven’t seen or heard enough of you ever since….. Good BSF was able to see your back, earlier would have been better. Keep entertaining us with similar pictures again…..coz writing a piece in a newspaper is too serious a business for some over ambitious kindergarten going kid. Your Oxford doesn’t impress …..coz ur piece is as lowly as the gown u donned that day for Quarter Guard..calling this article even mediocre is such an overstatement . Get over your colonial hangover.
This article is biased and reflects that we r still living in colonial times…these so called rajadhiraj (IPS) are behaving in autocratic manner…if u r so genuine why u guys r not giving equal opportunities to state services…why u hav blocked IPS LDCe exam…and if u hav really respect for the nation then even after grant of OGAS by supreme court,why u hav not granted for capfs… don’t misguide the countrymen for ur personal agenda…some sycophants also had justified colonial rule…the monopoly of these elitists must be broken…they r creating a new economical caste by collecting resources and easily getting into these services…middle class still struggle at constabulary ranks due to lack of resources and opportunities
This crossfire between ips and cadre officers is indeed frivolous and undesirable. Both parties trading punches instead having a open discussion or even an argument. Is this the way all you ‘officers’ operate? Sitting on your high horses and blaming each other when you should be working together. Strange.
Would have been more fun to read valid arguments with proactive thoughts and particularly without getting personal or challenging people about cracking exams. Wake up my dear leaders. Civilians like me look upto you. Don’t let that aura get lost in this tirade.
The lesser the influence of Bureaucracy, the better it is for India. 72 years lost to extended Raj ‘of the ruler on the ruled’ not any more. The recruitment of Civil Services is not transparent,
you don’t know why you pass or why you fail, what can you expect from those selected.
Let professionals handle the various departments and forces.
Only the organizations free of Civil servants are saving our country e.g Armed forces, ISRO, Research organizations etc. And looking at the language and context and effort that these are using in cat-fights, the immaturity and self-centered character can be seen.
Also, being out the statistics of casualty of IPS Vs Army Commissioned Officers to know about professionalism.
I salute some Civil servants though, who fight the system, their own colleagues yet deliver at great personal cost and sacrifice. Example Mr Khemka.
There is a dire need to allow leadership to grow to top from within the force, induction of IPS, is not either required or desirable, it cause more disharmony, than can do good, the role of RR, CRPF and BSF has been commendable, despite heavy offs I’m Kashmir, IPS don’t command that much respect, being local watching police, when we used have one IGP for whole state.
Let the ram rajya prevail.
Pls modernise the police which is ur task and which help the police n country and that only proves u a good police offcr..jyada CAPF cadre offcr ,IPS leadership karne se kuch nahi hoga.behave like a public servant which u are.
Sir,your article reeks of hubris n entitlement.True,you qualified an exam,True, IPS officers are meritorious but to be dismissive and contemptuous of the cadre officers’ merit goes on to expose the snooty cocoon you live in and tears apart the exalted status that you gasconade about.The article based on half truths, falsehoods and downright insults is nothing more than a diatribe .The genuine demands of the cadre officers have been duly upheld by the Hon’ble SC of India,and the Govt of the day.Your arguments,devoid of logic and reason are asinine to say the least .
Federalism,the structure of AIS,Article 312 are now, inconsequential to the issue and just enrich your verbiage.
However,as far as legal actions are concerned,yes they should be initiated against, you.
Sir,you would appreciate the following:-
First and foremost, you being an IPS officer should have been in proper uniform while taking the infamous salute at the QUARTER GUARD,but,sadly,you were not.I think, this blatant disregard and disrespect for the rules and general discipline of the force should be taken into cognisance by the Hon’ble DG .
Secondly,you should be booked under The Prevention of Insult to National Honours Act,1971 for disrespecting the National Flag and Constitution of India,as this act of yours is a flagrant flouting of rules.
Thirdly,your actions attract the charge of Sedition under sec 124A of the IPC,as the same are contrary to the Govt’s intent to declare and grant OGAS status to CAPFs’ cadre officers thereby causing resentment towards the govt should be booked under The Police(Restrictions of Rights)Act,1966 for being a part of an association,CIPSA.
You very conveniently talk about the career prospects of PBOR in a failed attempt to divide the CAPFs.To your dismay,the cadre officers are demanding just that.The cadre as a unit is exceedingly happy with the new vistas open for the junior commanders.
The simplistic and scornful statements that you make denude your bias against the Cadre officers.
It is pertinent to mention here that you are from the same service that fought tooth and nail against lateral entry in its ranks and find our issue,a non issue.But it seems hypocrisy runs deep in you.
Moreover,who made you the custodian of national interest?The CAPF officers very well understand,respect and honour national and public interest.Don’t patronize them.
They have never questioned your right to serve in states which too actually ,as of now,after grant of OGAS to CAPFs is not your exclusive demesne.But ,it is perplexing why and how the IPS career aspects are in jeopardy with the cadre officers rising up.
So,kindly refrain from veiled threats and specious arguments.Might I display the temerity to remind you of the pious tenet of EQUALITY OF LAW and the Right to Constitutional Remedies available to every citizen of this great nation,which I am sure you have forgotten in your high handedness.
The question is not of infallibility,sir,but of propreity and legitimacy.
Pardon my delayed response,you see, I don’t have the luxury of high speed internet , uninterrupted power supply and most importantly writing in national dailies,and this is the disparity that I am talking about.

The whole moral of the story of the controversy between ig of j&k, capf, crpf is that there is no cordination and they are working only for medals, honours and proving their superiority. The discipline of this people is a shame to the other indian law enforcing agencies. No wonder the terrorists is coming inside jammu and kashmir. My humble request as a indian is that no matter what happens take strict actions against the culprits and send them to jail. There should be a independent enquiry including the chief of army as a panel member. They don’t deserve to work in any law enforcing agencies.
IPS & IAS officers = posting photos on instagram, giving lectures on preparation of UPSC and spoken person of government only
Stumbling upon intemperately worded heading, you end up shutting the text about service interest as you open it. For, those who discuss individuals may not be blissfully aware of the ideas & events behind. Not obliging
them with those ideas & events in the background, it would suffice to state that for the purpose of undesirable guests overstaying their welcome, all of is are Sh Soods.
If level and quality of entrance exam is no criteria, then what about constables, sub-inspector, inspector etc. They have more field experience and the backbone of police and paramilitary. Why can’t they rise and head the organisations?
I think the Pen has been sold in the hands of decorated and mighty lobby …..
Kudos CAPF personnel you brought the issues to public ….days are not far away …. You will get justice …
We indians learned only two thing from British…selfishness and self justification.
Yes reforms are a never ending process of governance…but why…does we always wants our opinion to be super and right while others are always wrong. This all setup issue has been as per constitution of the country then why bragged and bring bad names to yourself ..afterall every servicemen work for the country…or are we working to just sustain ourselves and doesn’t care about our country and service but only our interest. Such people should be sacked immediately. They will take bribe be sold-out the country to the enemy.
Please follow the Law and the constitution of the country…I don’t think there will be a problem.
Referring a senior officer who is senior in rank and age as sood not Mr Sood itself shows the mental bankruptcy of the writer.
Dear Super Cop
Kindly visit your police stations and chaukis once in a month . what’s the reputation of police everybody knows in the country except you.most of the IPS officers promoted Corruption , smuggling,Loots in their area.thats why most of them suspended.few are behind the baar and maximum are facing corruption charges.A Parasite Service and its disgruntled and frustrated so called officers are Burden on the system , govt , society and democracy.Few policemen talking about discipline here .O mentally Bancurrupt people Discipline is not part of the policing system . kindly visit any police station and police institution in the country. please come out from your Air conditioned offices visit your police stations .Go among the people.you will feel the reality.
As far as corruption is concerned its not a hidden fact about the level of corruption in capf…The capf officers didnt hesitate to make money out of the rashans of jawans…They demand money from their own jawans for granting them leaves…If Capf officers are so honest then how come a commandant rank officer buy 3 to 4 flats in delhi within a short period of service…In the name of renovation of their mess their whole house gets renovated…Its an irony that the jawans ,inspector and sub inspector rank of officer of capf admire Ips officer more than their own cadre officer because they know it very well that an IPS officer cannot fall to such a low level by making money out of the rashans ,clothes and basic amenities of jawans..So please before pointing finger you should go through the facts….
Did you forget the sycophancy and ‘Yes Sir’ to every white kurta, pyjama clad followed by a group of rag tags ?? …
This article is in totality a propaganda agenda to protect IPS IG Vijay kumar, jnk police. Mr. Abhinay kumar is also an IPS n it is understood that he will certainly defend his comrades. There are a lot of cadre officers in CAPF who oppose own Cadre officers agenda to throw IPS out of CAPF. It has many reasons. Leave that matter to another time. But this article is totally one sided to support IPS association views and to tarnish Cadre officers in social media. If not then how come he writes column publicly? A column in social media warrants disciplinary action but here he can write any thing? This hypocrisy is opposed by cadre officers. There are a lot of very fine IPS officers who came to CAPF and they have changed the working condition of CAPF positively and ppl still remember them. Still cadre officers wish to keep them as IG but it is also true but some of other IPS also came to CAPF as visitors and usurp the govt property for one agenda- eat, drink and make tour arranged for their relatives and friends. even they disallow the rights of CAPF officers and staff to use their asset to make merry to their civilian friends with high links.
If operationally he had any plan which was to be condemnd, it should have been rightly condemned but to drag hole CRPF in this mess is beyond thought. Besides, I want to know from writer, whose responsibility is to maintain law n order in state? If any crime occurs then who is at fault? State police of CAPF? Then why state police try to take a shield behind CRPF?
Since childhood, we have learnt that empty mind is a devil’s workshop. The above write up is just another example of this. I was told that the officer was not given charge of any range but shunted in provisioning by snatching command. Probably that is why, in such critical time of pandemic when every other organisation, men and officers are busy in extending their services to the nation, this man found more than sufficient time to accumulate biased narrative, filled with unparliamentary, abusive, negative and above all, baseless statements.
Generally when a notorious child do some mischief, we initially ignore. But while doing so, unknowingly we forget to correct him, which leads to further degraded attitude and behaviours. This article needed to be corrected, not one but many many facts were distorted, misplaced and misleading hypothesis were added, repeatedly. Ironically, the person, I am calling him a person because calling him an officer is an abuse to the officer fraternity, who himself probably doesn’t know the basic A B C of discipline, decorum and spirit de corps, is advising other Officers to ensure the same. I believe that IGP, J&K Police may have spelled out something uncourteous leading to the outrageous talk around all quarters, but later on he never admitted nor denied the allegations. The matter was done, but now raising this shut issue again, it seems that the person is seeking attention, admiration or trying to cover some malicious malafide manifest. The deep burning wild desire to be noticed in media, even at the cost of disgracing the elite forces of the union, is utterly unbecoming to be a member of a disciplined force, leave aside leading it. Shedding crocodile tears to express solidarity is hardly accepted.
When as a child, I started learning bicycle, my elder brother use to support me by holding the bicycle alongside my ride. Later when I learnt to ride, the same supporting hand started to hinder my speed and overall journey. My brother gracefully stopped extending the support and went on with his own ride. I couldn’t take it any more. I am sure everyone has the same story. This is life.
I fail to understand as why this person and other fellow people of his league, (I would certainly not address them with mean words, as this person has mentioned in his write up for many senior officers, as I can never be so low, I do come from a better cultured family) deny to accept the fact that it’s their time to gracefully withdraw. And if this league still believes that all the hardwork done by previous other officers was sheer waste and they couldn’t shape the CAPFs properly yet to let grow on its own, I find no reason to expect any better, from this lot of self obsessed and self centric people, at least.
Aspiration is an integral part of any service profile, we all know that. If the cadre officer aspire to grow in his own organisation, then what is wrong in that? Talking about all India services, there are still many more horizons to be explored. But betting unconstitutionally upon the rightful, legal and just share of cadre Officers by denying and delaying the implementation of Supreme Court judgement with the help of an illegal association and lobbying by wrongfully accumulated wealth, is completely beyond any parameters of ethics and morality. In this crucial time of pandemic, when the nation is fighting together, shoulder to shoulder, such divisive and destructive rhetoric is highly unacceptable.
More than anything else, I am shocked to see that the editor team of “The Print” has completely gone in hibernation. This article only reveals that any person with absent mind and destructive mindset, who can pen something, anything, no matter what, no matter how distant from reality, can always find a place in “The Print”. The publication house would only add a sentence that the views are personal and try to evade the responsibility. The author has his own contaminated, polluted and biased agenda, but the editor team of “The Print”, who generally have a credibility to raise voices of unheard, failed this time to their own standards to adjudicate the content before giving any space. The publication of this article is a dark blot on the reputation what the editorial board of “The Print” has earned in years.
The selfless services, the valour, the patriotism, relentless contribution and finally, the professionalism of cadre Officers is not wanting for any certification from such under developed deprived outlook.
Who commands whome, is none of my concern, but the factual position about CRPF jawans on ground duty, visibally, they look like lazy lamb & tired.
Common man like us do not know the system of procedure used in J&K for IPS and CAPF , but after reading the article , one thing is clear that both units fight terrorism , while fighting terrorism there should no internal dispute between the two units , atleast dirty clothes should not be washed in public , so that people do not loose faithin both the units , any dispute should be internally resolved , but by the looks of the comments under this article , it seems that many of the commentetors are of CAPF faction , and by the language used against the writer of this article and the IPS , it seems that the IPS is being given the raw deal by CAPF , and maximum of CAPF jawans are not academically qualified to reach officer appointment , which needs to be corrected by the top command of CAPF themselves , instead of blaming IPS by listening to some vested interest from the CAPF , working closely to counter terrorism by both the units is the only way to defeat terrorism .
If evey other person is writing on behalf of CAPF officers then you must be writing on behalf of IPS lobby !!
I have love for IPS, but such High rank official of IG rank has written such a revengeful article, its very sad affairs for the nation at large.
Such type of officer bring shame to whole Police organisation and present them in bad light. Remark of Kashmir IG is very bad and unbecoming to be at a leadership role. This IG rather than condemning such remark is praising Kashmir IG, just because he belongs to the same organisation. Rather enquiry should be held and if Kashmir IG is innocent he himself called for inquiry and come clean. Such type of arbitrary lobbying is clearly antithetical to national interest.
IPS is a rotten force. The state of policing in the entire country is a joke and IPS Jokers are squarely responsible for it. What contribution has the IPS had in J&K? They have been hiding behind the army, CRPF, BSF etc as they are unable to maintain basic law and order. It is quite true and valid that CRPF, BSF or ITBP do not want these cowardly unprofessional clowns leading their professional troops.
Ever talked with a police constable about his duty hours before you called it rotten?
Rebuttal by Mr Vikram S Panwar, IG(Retd) CRPF
My dear Abhinav
As a brother officer in uniform I have been intently following your posts ever since your days as SP in Uttrakhand Khand
Your command over the language is indeed impressive and should be so being a product of elite Doon school
Well I too have been one of the best speakers of my time in Delhi university so also at the academy. Flair for writing speaking and blogging runs in our genes too since my son is an acclaimed author poet blogger and international speaker too
I have always exercised restraint to react to your vitriolic posts but your recent outbursts of venomous emotions against senior colleagues like Mr Asthana Mr Sood and earlier Mr Bholanath has constrained me to air my views.
As a comrade in uniform I feel this unrestrained abusive attacks on colleagues in uniform does not go down well with other colleagues and specially young officers who are sooner or later bound to emulate us and repay us in the same coin. You cannot expect respect from other side without being humble and respectful yourself. Respect is commanded not demanded.
Your spat with two young lady probationers of CRPF which forced you to take refuge in the authority of Vijay Kumar the then IG CRPF ,whom you have so vociferously tried to protect in your article, was also avoidable to maintain your own dignity in public forum.
Merely shouting talking loudly with vitriolic emotions does not always reflect the truth. You really need to be educated on the genesis of deputation of IP and IPS officers to CAPF. Let me make it clear to you that it neither had nor has anything to do with Art 312 Federal Structure AIS IPS rules or IPS tenure policy. You have harped on these factors time and again both inside and outside the courts which have been debated deliberated and debunked in the highest court of law in the country.
For your kind information the CRPF was raised in 1939 by a British Major and subsequently the command had passed into the hands of army officers who continued to nurture and groom these forces along with few IP and IPS officers till army could no longer provide officers after the aggression of 1962 . The recruitment to CRPF cadre had begun only in 1960 and but obvious they couldn’t have been appointed to senior posts overnight.
I wish you had read the views of Shri Kanetkar and Shri Rustomji the first DGs of CRPF and BSF on deputation of IPS officers to these forces.I have worked with some of the finest IPS officers and have lots of respect for both Mr Kanetkar and Mr Rustomji they made a massive contribution to these forces but you cannot wish away the equal contribution of sweat and blood of cadre officers who toiled whole their lives to groom these forces . Don’t forget battles are not won by Kings alone but commanders on ground who have been invariably the cadre officers. I wish the present day leadership had the similar disposition and vision to prempt the prevailing acrimony. Both DGs above had opposed the deputations of IPS officers to these cadres on basis of any statutory reservations they were in favour of grooming and promoting cadre officers whom they found better trained and suitable for these forces.They had proposed temporary working formula for induction of IPS officers as stop gap arrangement in the absence of senior and qualified cadre officers in 1970. The then JSP and HS had echoed their views and it had been categorically emphasised in their notings that there is no provision of statutory reservation in CRPF act for reservation for IPS Army or State Police officers which also governed the BSF then .
HS had recorded we cannot treat these forces as avenues of promotions for IPS officers which cannot be the overriding factor.
It was on this premise that induction of IPS officers started in CAPF . It is also on record in writing that IPS officers stopped coming as Commandants to these forces due to unattractive terms of deputation. Gradually the posts of DIGs too became unattractive to IPS keeping in view hostile terrains and high threat perceptions.It is also on record in writing that despite offers of choice postings , preferences in foreign postings and foreign courses . grant of meritorious and distinguished medals on priority enhanced quota of tenure pool accommodation government could not attract IPS officers. Hence for heavens sake stop taking refuge of professionalism national security better training rights of IPS to justify continuance of Deputations. It is your personal choices personal interests which have been governing the status of Deputations and not your rules and rights. If these Deputations were your right why these provisions were never invoked to check the gradual reduction in quota of IPS reservation in these forces. Why no hue and cry was made on these grounds in 2008 against recommendations of the 6 th CPC. Dear friend it is high time we all rise above personal interests and give preference to national interests. Let us get out of this rigmaroles of superior and inferior service complex. No one is superior or inferior we both have been recruited trained and groomed for our respective jobs. We should have mutual respect for each other’s service rights and growth and career opportunities. Please broaden your vision as well as let your heart go off the desires causing pain and agony to your conscious after all career progression of CAPF officers in no way is coming into the way of your career progression.Rather than exhorting the DGs to take action against cadre officers you should request them to take a holistic view and remedial actions to redress the genuine grievances of cadre officers to ameliorate this growing acrimony jeopardising the very fabric of national security , coordination cooperation and brotherhood between uniformed services. This boisterous and arrogant approach will not lead you to any conflict resolution in service matters. A brotherly advice from an elder and more experienced officer of CRPF that please get out of the disillusionment that these forces cannot be commanded if left to cadre officers. The britishers and several pompous leaders had this mirage effect that world shall be doomed after their departure. All invincible lords are comfortably resting in their graves . Your and my existence is too ephemeral and as delicate as drops of dew. So let’s strive to leave indelible prints of graceful existence on sands of time .
Befitting sir.
Somebody should print this and send it to him.
Salute to you Sir.
Dear Mr Abhinav Kumar,
I think ,the Oxford university and Police Service has not taught you how to differ seniors view with due respect.
It is not just Sood …से प्रारंभ हुए पैराग्राफ में आपने श्री विजय कुमार , कश्मीर आई जी के समर्थन में CRPF कमान्डेंट द्वारा दिए गए बेतार व उसके बाद की परिस्थितियों का वर्णन किया है तथा उनकी नकारात्मक छवि को उकेरने के लिए आपने CAPFs अधिकारीयों द्वारा भारी धनराशी एकत्र कर किसी NGO द्वरा IPS अधिकारीयों के खिलाफ मुकदमेबाजी और सरकार में पक्ष जुटाव की बात कही है | आप जैसे ज्ञानी और उच्च अधिकारी की कलम से ऐसी मनगढ़ंत कहानी की कल्पना भी बेवाकी थी | CAPF अधिकारीयों के पास आपके जैसा अविधिक IPS एसोसिएसन नहीं है , राजनेताओं तक सीधी पहुच नहीं है और गलत तरीके से अर्जित धन भी नहीं है | अगर ये सब होता तो यकीन मानिये उच्च न्यायलय, उच्चतम न्यायलय और कैबिनेट मंजूरी मिलने के बाद भी CAPF में OGAS के सभी उपबंधों को सही तरीके से लागू करने की बेशर्मी और हिमाकत आप लोग नहीं करते और आप ये लेख भी नहीं लिखते |
अगले पैराग्राफ में आपने खुले तौर पर सम्बंधित कमान्डेंट और मौजूद अधिकारीयों को मीटिंग के दौरान ही श्री दिलबाग सिंह, महानिदेशक जम्मू कश्मीर के सामने अपना विरोध व्यक्त करने की चुनौती के बारे में वर्णन किया है | महोदय यही अंतर पुलिस और CAPF की कार्य संस्कृति में है बाकी आप समझदार है खुद ही बाद के घटनाक्रम में जम्मू कश्मीर पुलिस द्वारा डैमेज कण्ट्रोल हेतु किये गए कार्यों से समझ गए होंगे |
Outrageous Claim वाले पैराग्राफ में आपने CRPF के गत वर्ष के 125 मेडल में से 95 मेडल के जम्मू कश्मीर प्रक्षेत्र से आने व बाकि क्षेत्रों में नगण्य होने की बात कही है और इस सम्बन्ध में घृणित व भ्रामक अफवाह फ़ैलाने वाले CAPF खासकर CRPF अधिकारीयों को आत्मविश्लेषण करने की सलाह दी है | महोदय शायद आत्मविश्लेषण और डाटा विश्लेषण करने की जरुरत आप जैसे प्रबुद्ध वर्ग को भी है | विगत 10 वर्षों में CRPF के द्वारा प्राप्त क्षेत्रवार पदकों का विश्लेषण कीजिये , समसामयिक आतंरिक सुरक्षा परिदृश्य को देखिये | आपको स्वयं का भी आत्मविश्लेषण करने की नितांत आवश्यकता पड़ेगी|
अगले पैराग्राफ में आपने मिस्टर सूद को क़ानूनी नतीजे भुगतने और CAPF के अधिकारीयों द्वारा सोसल मिडिया पर अपने हक़ की मांग उठाने के लिए भी कार्यवाई करने की बात कही है | आप भी अछूते नहीं है श्रीमान , आपके ट्विटर के स्क्रीनशॉट सबके पास है | बाकी आपने अपने कृत्यों और कार्यप्रणाली से अपने गृह राज्य में कितने लाख पुलिस बलों और कितने संगठनों का मनोबल उठाया है इसकी केस स्टडी बननी बाकी है|
अपने आलेख के अगले भाग में आपने CAPF कैडर अधिकारीयों के कैरियर प्रोग्रेशन व अपने उच्च वर्ण की मनगढ़ंत कहानी को बहुत अच्छे से प्रस्तुत किया है और अपनी विशिष्ट वर्ग द्वारा CRPF कैडर अधिकारीयों के अवतरण व उनके पालन का जिम्मा भी लिया है | महोदय जरा सोचिये, परिवार, समाज, व देश की वर्तमान पीढ़ी को बिगड़ने का ठीकरा पिछली निक्कमी पीढ़ी के ऊपर ही थोपा जाता है| परन्तु यह जान कर अत्यंत प्रसन्नता हुई की आपको भी CAPF के 80000 अधीनस्थ अधिकारीयों की चिंता है | जाहिर है पुरे देश में राज्य पुलिस में अधीनस्थ अधिकारीयों के कैरियर प्रगति व उनके विकाश के लिए अभूतपूर्व कार्य किया है | राज्यों में हुई कई घटनाएँ इसका ज्वलंत उदहारण है| हाल के दिनों में दिल्ली में पुलिस बलों के 24 घंटे अपने मुख्यालय के सामने दिए गए धरने का इस विकाश से कोई सम्बन्ध नहीं है क्योकि दिल्ली पुलिस केंद्र की पुलिस है | जाइये अपने राज्य की चिंता कीजिये | CAPF के अधीनस्थ अधिकारीयों की चिंता के लिए CAPF के कैडर अधिकारी जिन्दा है|
अंतिम भाग में आपने अखिल भारतीय सेवावों में भी सुधार की जरुरत को अपरिहार्य समझा है जो कुछ समय पूर्व भाप्रसे समान नियुक्ति व समानता के लिए आपके दिल में उठी तिस की एक झलक है परन्तु कैबिनेट मंजूरी मिलने के बाद भी CAPF को छोड़ना नागवार है जब तक की आपका आर्डर केंसिल न हो जाये |
आशा है देव भूमि उतराखंड में पुलिस महानिरीक्षक संभरण व आधुनिकीकरण के रूप में आप राज्य पुलिस को एक नया रूप देंगे जो सभी के लिए एक मॉडल होगा और उसकी नक़ल कर देश व राज्य के पुलिस बल आधुनिकीकरण की गति के साथ कदम मिला सकेंगे | CAPF के ही मेरे एक अधिकारी ने बताया है की Achievements is different than Activity and an officer should strive for accomplishment of the achievement. आशा है आपके द्वारा किये जा रहे विशिस्ट कार्यों की एक केस स्टडी सभी CAPFs को भी भेजी जाएगी ताकि वो भी इससे लाभान्वित हो सके |
जय हिन्द ……..जय CAPFs
I agreed with IG Kashmir Vijay Sir-IPS about ground reality. “Sou baathon ki ek baath” CRPF is not working properly. Now come to the point why CRPF don’t work properly..
The reason is. Ground level officers commanding troops are “nikkame nalayak” kism ke NON-IPS officers who are one time wonders entered in Force with limited qualities through less competitive selections.
..
Actualy the mistake is committed by government of India. Here with example which may be little bit irrelavant, but easy to understand the fact with a hindi folk/moral story line that :-
“Kutthon ko sher ka khaal pehnaane se.. kutthey sher nahi ban jathey” subsequently after long time “kutthey willingly on accepting task and silently wearing sher ka khaal on looking themself get confuse and feels themself as Sher and try to establish Kingdom as like a real Sher. Finally Dishonest and foolish “kutthey apni aukaath bhool jaathey hain’ and unfortunately poorey jungle ke jeevon ko confuse karke kud raja hone ka daava karne lagthey hain.. Kuch dinon ke liye, kuch hadh thak keliye, kuch kuthon ko strategically sher ka khaal pahnaya jaana, poorey jungle ke jeevon ke liye bhaari bhool saabhith ho jaatha hai.
Hence, looking on shortage of All India Civils Services Exams and IPS courses Qualified officers, the non-IPS officers(DAGOs/DASOs) were wrongfully upgraded and designated over then limited posts at higher authorities over then appropriate perameters allowed in Rucruitment Rules provisions of CAPF police administration. It was golden opportunities given to NON-IPS officers of CAPF but dishonest NON-IPS officers are misusing such wrongful upgradations provided to them. It seems it is a wrongful practice to continue the same in future of internal security-Central Armed Police Forces. Wrongfully upgradated/designated NON-IPS officers with common decorations are getting mentally troubled due to which the dishonest and greedy NON-IPS officers are comparing themselves with IPS officers. Non-IPS officers don’t know the meaning of CADRE and how the union of India decides statewise allocation of Civil Services Officers for all over India and how those state CADRE officers on seniority with state level ground experience promoted for upperstage to provide services to union of India with expertise. Therefore the Non-IPS officer of CAPF are deciding themselves as CADRE officers and wrongfully publishing in social media that, the “INDIAN POLICE SERVICES” officers are not Cadre assigned or not authorised for Central Police Organizations/CAPF. And dreaming that, the Central Police organisations must be treated as “Baap ka jageer” of monopoly group of Non-IPS officers. Finally with 99% majority of DAGOs and DASOs unfairly upgraded upto ADG level are causing disastrous “monopoly” and feeling themselves as Cadre officers. And finally treats just remained 1% of IPS Cadres as “lawaris”/outsourced Indian Police Services officers.
Ek exam ke dene se professionalism prove kaise hota hai janaab. Nikamma vahi hai jo inko nikamma keh raha hai aur koi nhi. Aur IPS officers kis kism se aage ho gye just because ki voh civil servants hai , paper toh koi bhi ratt ke nikaal sakta yeh rattu popato ka bas itna hi hai. Kutten kaun hai…vahi hai jo bina kisi tajurbe ke bhaukte hue apne malik ki jhaangeer par baithe hai..jaise yeh IPS kar rhe hai. Home grown cadres voh hai jo iss jungle mei shuruat se hai..sher toh vahi hue naa..jo shuruaat se jungle mei jungle ko bhali bhaati jaante hai , kutten toh balki voh hai jo chaat chaat ke jahaan khaana biscuit mila bas gye vahi. Ab bataiye harkato se kaun kutta hai aur kaun sher. Now let’s be civilized and talk about facts . All the given data is outrightly redundant as well as unauthentic. Nobody is comparing the work or quality of IPS or CAPF the talk is about relevance , how relevant will it be if I come to your house and your father makes me the karta of your family. Would that be acceptable nahina. That’s the point and how do you even claim the IPS training to be professionaly superior , these cadre officers are also trained in their own respective academies in respect to their own jobs. So these people have been raised well in the jungle not under the heads of their so called political masters. They deserve every bit of
thier right to be DG of thier own cadres. If something is wrong then people would be vocal about it otherwise people like you would always sit at the top to manipulate and spew venoms. Professional quality is just a garb ki lamba exam de diyaa govt ki A category mei aa gye toh baap bannn gye. Yeh waali harkat kutte IPS officers ne dikhayi hai CAPF ne nhi.
IPS should be in state police, CAPF should have there own cadre, thy had served in force at company level and then thy raise, while IPS sahab land at DIG rank, this system should be done away
You’re one to talk about lies, Abhinav.
You have continuously resorted to lies in your attempts to justify IPS presence in CAPF – I remember you characterised BSF as a primarily anti smuggling agency and thus IPS officers who have dealt with such cases are a good fit. In one of your more outrageous articles, you explain how the army tests physical ability in SSB while no physical test is taken in CAPF – whereas it’s the other way around. But I’m not surprised, since you didn’t have to take any physical test in your life of any sort.
In the first place why do the IPS cadre get deputed to CAPF ? Are there not enough men in the latter cadre to man high ranking posts ?
IPS personnel are top ranking policemen and men of excellence from selection , training and performance in their parent organization. But why unnecessarily induct them in to CAPF and cause bad blood between brother forces. Inducting junior in service IPS officers over the head of a CAPF officer with longer service not only clogs their machine but also frustrates the devoted who are born and bred in the mother organisation. IPS is really great but it is not a free size to fit all feet that tread the mined border..Let each service excel in their allotted service and not keep hunting for a vacant higher berth in sister organisation to wash their dirty linen in public .
IPS are untrained civil servants full of false egos and no professionalism. The very idea that they lord over senior in CAPFs is abhorrent to good order and discipline,the IPS should be restricted only to civil police duties, even for which they are unfit, CAPFs are a disciplined and trained force and should be led by their own cadre officers to prevent heart burning and blockage of promotional avenues at present captured by unprofessional IPS.
Absolutely nonsensical rhetoric without any substance. IPS is to enjoy the perks not fight as a soldier. BSF ITBP and CRPF have fought alongside army in all wars. Has any IPS fought any war? Any martyrdom? No. They come to pass time and enjoy perks when state govt is not suitable. There is nothing common in CAPF and IPS so why should they have all the authority without any accountability? IPS and CAPF have nothing in common.
I reject this rant outrightly an aim to misguide thenation. Cadre officers must take the fight to finish.
IG sir atleast you should have matched the fitness level of IPS officers and CAPF officers before stating such malicious facts ; the whole country know these are u people responsible for erosion of trust of the Citizens on the police system. Next time before writing your own version of story atleast once check the level of corruption charges pending on your fellow colleagues. It’s really shameful instead of regretting u r still spreading lies.SHAME SHAME
I had left a comment few hours back and it showed in comment box for a while before got censored and deleted. There were 39 comments prior to mine; now showing only 07. Voice choked, smoked and blocked. But why? If it’s an open forum then why freedom of expression is chained.
पुलिस को देश की सबसे भ्रस्ट संस्था बनाने में इन जैसे अधिकारियो का ही सहयोग रहा है । ज्यादतर ये वीर पुलिस अधिकारी अपने जीवन काल मे वीरता पदक अर्ध सैनिक बल के अवधि में लिए है क्योंकि हिस्सा बटाने में माहिर है । पर अगर इनके अंदर ही प्रतिभा होती नेतृत्व की या जमीनी देलिरी की तो पुलिस सेवा में पाए होते । पर पुलिस सेवा में धन अर्जन बहुतायत कर लेते है जो शायद इसका हक समझते है । अभिनव कुमार जी बहुत कोशिश किये की कैडर में न जाना पड़े पर बिचारे न चाहते हुए गए …..पर क्यों नही जाना चाहते है ।
विजय कुमार जी तो ठीक से बोल नही पाते पता नही ट्रिगर दबाना जानते भी है कि नही …
पुलिस को सड़ाने वाले यही लोग है …फेल्ड कैडर
Yeh IG kaise ban gaya…..
Bhai pehli baat jab tum sareaam reply karte ho to, sareaam apna name bata ke bhi reply kar sakti ho.
Dusri baat, Mai wait karunga MN ya jo koi bhi ho, agle saal 2021 me dekhta hun tumhara naam aata hai ki nahi UPSC ki IPS list me . Gaali to dene ka bahut mann kar raha hai. But publically nahi de sakta. Ek IPS ke bare me bolne se pehle ye sochna ki meri aukaat kah hai. Aur mai kiske bare me bol raha hun. Tum jaise log deshdrohi hai. Dam hai IPS banne ka….
Aarakshan Baba hai na …….. Ya to mummy Papa honge …
IPS ऑफिसर्स वास्तव में अक्षम हैं CAPF की कमान सम्हालने के लिए। CAPF में IPS ऑफिसर्स एक तरह से सर्विस टूर करने आते हैं इससे ज्यादा कुछ नहीं। न तो इन्हें जमीनी स्तर का कोई अनुभव होता है न जानकारी, संसाधनों के दुरुपयोग और CAPF के स्तर को सदा नीचे गिराए रखने में केवल आईपीएस की पैराशूट लैंडिंग ही जिम्मेदार है।
Dear Abhinav,
Are you sane? Aren’t you’ve read the verdict given by the Hon SC and DHC furthered by Cabinet! You’re talking in such inappropriate language to Mr Sood Sir, Ex ADG, BSF like he is contemporary to you! He has put in 35 year plus service and you’ll need one decade to match him in service and competence. It shows you’re too egomaniac! Your sense of superiority comes from within! You’ve your domain and CAPFs have their domain. Nowhere in the world it is in practice that any police officer comes to command armed forces! However it’s vice versa! “Jinke khud ke ghar kanch ke hote hai na dusro ke gharo me pathhar nahi mara karte!” Your association soon will going to be persecuted and many are facing contempt of judiciary orders! So, better save yourself and your illegal association! Your mud slinging is known pan India and thus you’re not given extension in CAPFs. Bhagwan bhala kare UKD Police ka jaha is jaisa afsar aseen hai!

Since independence the no. Of serious deciplinary actions and criminal prosecutio s concluded sucesfully against IAS or IPS is in single digit.Nothing sticks to a corrupt and criminal IAS or IPS, they bend laws to thier benefitactions or Criminal prosecution alone., these two All India Services are imune to accountability and have beco.e curse for this nation.
Ex ADG Shri SK Sood is an officer of 1976 Batch of direct entry officers of BSF. He remained in SPG and in almost all bordering states in the country in various capacities and is therefore competent to have his views relating to CAPFs and also on all internal security matters. Therefore his views are to be respected even if someone differs.2) The comments of IG Kashmir were made by him in meeting attended by officers of other security forces. Making such a sweeping and derogatory comments about a Force of which he himself remained a part does not speak of his maturity and standard of leadership. 3) Even if there was something more which CRPF was expected to do ,he should have called their commanders separately and guided and motivated them. 4) Bringing this issue in to focus by CAPF officers reflects their courage of conviction and clarity of thought and perception and not poor level of leadership 5) Both ie IPS and CAPF commanders should work together as a team. All should learn from the example of leadership which Shri K P S Gill IPS provided while fighting terrorism in Punjab.
