Do not put unnecessary pressure on police department: PM Modi advises MPs of UP

New Delhi: The Prime Minister Narendra Modi has, on Thursday, advised MPs of the Uttar Pradesh not to put unnecessary pressure on the police department of the state. They must keep themselves away from the process of transfer and posting as good governance is BJP's main motive, PM said. It is pertinent to mention here that on Wednesday morning, a tweet by an IPS officer, attached to the DGP office in Lucknow, created headlines in media and is likely to ruffle a lot of feathers in the new elected government of Yogi Adityanath in Uttar Pradesh. Himashu Kumar tweeted that senior police personnel in the state are under immense pressure to suspend and send to reserve lines all police personnel having ‘Yadav’ surname. He later on deleted the tweet. Here's a screen shot of Himanshu Kumar's tweet which was later deleted by him. Here's a screen shot of Himanshu Kumar's tweet which was later deleted by him. Couple of minutes later, he again tweeted saying, “Some people have misunderstood my tweet. I support the initiative of the Government.” However, he has stuck to his serious allegation of discrimination in the police system with the new government coming in, by launching a direct attack at the DGP office. He questioned, “Why is DGP office forcing officers to punish people in the name of caste?” Kumar is 2010 batch IPS officer. He was posted as a Superintendent of Police posted in Manipuri and Firozabad earlier. Recently, Election Commission transferred him to DGP HQ in Lucknow. The previous Samajwadi Party government was also accused of allotting key positions to government officers holding ‘Yadav’ surnames.
