Last time a similar incident took place was in 1988 when then deputy commissioner of Delhi Police Kiran Bedi had staunchly defended police lathi-charge on lawyers.
Senior officials said the protest showed that Delhi Police’s top leadership failed to handle the situation, and added that a disciplined force couldn’t be allowed to develop a mob mentality.
Former IPS officer Kiran Bedi has nothing to do with the Delhi Police-versus-lawyers incident, but her face was used prominently in the protests by police personnel.
Delhi Police personnel on unprecedented protest Tuesday against incidents of assault by lawyers say “something must have gone extremely wrong” if the protectors want protection.
The report contains details of the circumstances leading to Saturday's incident that left at least 20 security personnel and several advocates injured.
The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
