The incident, a Sikh policeman of Uttrakhand Police saving a Muslim man from a crowd thirsting for his blood at Ramnagar near Nainital, getting viral on social media, would be seen by those respecting constitution and human values as ‘religion called khaki honoured'.
Reflecting pride, India is the largest democracy, former IGP S.S.Bijral, BJP state spokesperson, said hall mark of democratic government's brilliance is the rule of law. He said when Gagandeep Singh sub – Inspector in Uttrakhand police along with other police personnel reached the spot where irate mob was attacking the man who was with his girl friend from another community, the latter creditably honoured his uniform that mandatorily seeks to be above other religions. Wondering, had he shirked letting it be another shameful addition to barbaric lynching incidents – blot on the democracy, taking place, it would have put a question mark to nation pride. Complementing Sub Inspector Gagandeep Singh for honouring khaki uniform donned in service of humanity, upholding founding principle of Sikhism, “na ko bairinahibaigana, sagalsangh hum ko ban aayee”, meaning neither one is enemy nor a stranger, I am one with all alike, enshrined in Sri Guru Granth Sahib, Bijral, the senior cop, hoped police wearing khaki would gear up professionally to meet rising challenges committing to Religion of Khaki. The video and media reports of ‘Dalit' beaten to death in Gujarat;90 suspected child lifters attacked in 25 days in Bengaluru; the Archbishop of Delhi Anil Couto writing to all priests for a prayer campaign to be launched and also appealed for fasting on Friday ahead of the 2019 general elections with media headlining ‘Secular fabric under threat';violence in Kashmir valley continuing with Pak, hostile neighbour set to destabilise state and even our HM Raj Nath Singh saying ‘ politics has always been part of India with legends indulging in it but same has now lost its meaning and essence', police personnel in ‘Khaki' have to tone up their shoulders to bear the burden of heightened challenges. The ‘Nation First' policy alone will see us through. Let us commit ourselves to it in letter and spirit.
