Retired Delhi Police officers have written a letter to the Lieutenant Governor (L-G), Anil Baijal and Delhi Police Commissioner, Amulya Patnaik, urging them to take steps to boost the morale of the police force after the recent stand-off with the lawyers.
"The Delhi Police Retired Gazetted Officers Association (DPRGOA) is deeply concerned about the incidents of violent clashes between the lawyers and police personnel in the district courts of Delhi," stated the DPRGOA letter.
"The direction of no coercive action against lawyers requires to be amended to no coercive action against anyone till the completion of the enquiry. The suspension and transfer of police officers should be challenged as no action has been ordered against erring lawyers," the letter stated.
Karnal Singh, who Delhi Police in various capacity and retired as Director of Enforcement Directorate and the president of DPRGOA said, "The senior officers of the organisation may encourage and boost the morale of the force by adequate assurances to them that they have complete support of their seniors and that the rule of law will prevail.
No departmental action may be taken against those officials who had gathered at the PHQ (Police Headquarters) for silent protest with their families to apprise the senior officers of their grievances. It needs sympathetic consideration," he said.
