If police fails to enforce law, democracy fails, says NSA Ajit Doval

National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval on Thursday asked the police officials to ensure that impressions, such as the police only serve the privileged, which sully the image of the organisation are removed. Doval said that police should be seen by the common man as “credible and fair” and added that if it fails to enforce the law, democracy fails.

He was addressing a conference of young superintendents of police from across the country in Gurugram.

“You should be doing things fairly and objectively, and it is also important that you are seen as credible,” Doval said at a event organised by the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPRD), a police think-tank under the Union Home Ministry.
