Shah paid homage to the martyrs at the National Police Memorial in New Delhi on Police Commemoration Day.
Addressing on the occasion, he said there was disruption of peace in Jammu & Kashmir, Left-wing extremism affected areas and the Northeast for decades but in the past decade, the government has succeeded in establishing peace due to the dedication and efficiency of the security forces, however, he stressed that the fight is not over yet.
According to the Union Home Minister, emerging threats like drones, narcotics trade, cybercrime, attempts to spread unrest through Artificial Intelligence (AI), conspiracies to incite religious sentiments, infiltration, smuggling of illegal weapons, and acts of terror are the challenges faced by the country, however, he assured that ”no matter how big the threats and challenges are, they cannot stand in the face of the unwavering resolve of the soldiers”.
He further said that the Jawans of the police forces safeguard the country’s borders from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from Kutch to Kibithu.
Shah said that the personnel of the police forces were always guarding countrymen and the borders, whether it is day or night, during festivals or disasters, extreme heat, rain, or cold waves.
The HM hailed that police force, saying that there has been a tradition amongst them of making the supreme sacrifice for the security of the country.
Shah said that ”The central structure at the National Police Memorial symbolises the unwavering commitment of our soldiers towards duty, their profound patriotism, and their willingness to make the supreme sacrifice.”
He mentioned that on this very day in 1959, 10 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel bravely faced the Chinese army and sacrificed their lives, and after becoming Prime Minister, Narendra Modi decided to build a police memorial in the heart of Delhi to honour the sacrifice of these soldiers.
