Former Director General of Police Prakash Singh — who attended the ‘Yuva Dastak’ on Sunday — said that the Central Paramilitary Forces were not undertaking aggressive and attacking operations in the areas affected by Maoist violence because the Central Government was not very clear about any incident.
He said, “The Union Government has asked the para-military forces to be extra-cautious and not do anything resulting to the death of innocent villagers or tribals which in turn will affect the Government to criticism.”
“In such extra-cautious suggestion, para-military forces will obviously take limited operations and to some extend the forces are not serious in leadership,” he said. Also he mentioned that in case of Jharkhand, enough powers were not given to para-military forces like that given in other areas of insurgency.
