I am acutely aware about the pressures of pull and push you and your families have faced in the past, and continue to face in varying degrees even today, in the villages and towns and neighbourhoods you live, and at the hands of the bullies and goons working secretly on behalf of the terrorist and secessionist networks sometimes under the guise of ‘respectables’. While undertaking this joint national and societal fight alongside other partners we have the difficult challenge of doing it within the constraints of law, under the gaze of new age media and our accountability to the courts and quasi-judicial bodies and answerability to law making bodies and elected representatives in them. We are also very challengingly placed because we have to fight terrorism and crime with minimum loss to the innocent. My dear fellow policemen and policewomen, we are a unique police force in the country and perhaps among all security forces in a way that we have the onerous responsibilities of fighting terrorists and simultaneously of maintaining law and order on streets, of battling the terrorists with guns and those without, combating the enemy who is invisible and also the enemy within. To the mother and father who lost their son, the wife who lost her husband, the child who lost his father, to the sister who lost her brother, I would say that the nation salutes you and I assure you that we, the JKP family, stand with you always. I also salute the family members of these fallen heroes for their sacrifices and resilience. They did not flinch when it came to the choice of living or attaining martyrdom in the service of the motherland. I pay homage to each one of these Bravehearts who did not cower down under intimidation while performing their duties whether in active combats or while investigating cases or protecting lives and guarding properties or maintaining order on streets. This proud professional force has given enormous sacrifices to get J&K out of the clutches of sponsored terrorism and ensuring an enabling environment for fostering peace and development. More than 1600 J&K police personnel have made the supreme sacrifice of laying down their lives at the altar of duty. With confidence, as also with a great sense of pride, let us assure each and every citizen residing in Jammu and Kashmir and beyond that J&K Police has remained, and will continue to remain, at the forefront to uphold the sovereignty, integrity and the honour of Bharat. While there is no doubt that each and every citizen is ready to do their best for this sacred cause, their hopes always lie first with the police among other security forces of the nation. Dear Officers and Jawans of Jammu and Kashmir Police,Īs we move into the new year with a sense of joy and hope, we need to take a few moments to reflect on the year that has gone by and make an assessment as to where we stand, so that we set our priorities absolutely right.ĭear officers and Jawans, upholding the sovereignty and integrity of our great nation is at the heart of every Indian citizen.
