New Delhi: Observing that states have not yet fully implemented one of the key recommendations of the Sachar Committee report, the Centre recently wrote to all states reminding them to post at least one Muslim inspector or subinspector in police stations which fall under areas having
high concentration of the minority community.
In a note written to chief secretaries of all the states, Union home secretary R K Singh urged them to send a status report on the matter by end-June.
The committee, which was constituted on March 9, 2005, under the chairmanship of Justice Rajinder Sachar to prepare a comprehensive report on the social, economic and educational status of Muslims in India, had in its report in November 2006 recommended this as an initiative to build confidence among community members.
It suggested that it may be useful to have at least one Muslim inspector or sub-inspector in police stations in areas having high concentration of Muslim population “not as a matter to eliminate discrimination but as an initiative to build confidence”.
Sources in the home ministry said though a number of states had started the practice, the implementation was quite erratic. MHA following up on Muslim cops plan
New Delhi: The Sachar Committee report had recommended at least one Muslim inspector or sub-inspector in police stations which fall under areas having high concentration of the minority community.
Reminding all states about a detailed note written by then Union home secretary Madhukar Gupta four years ago on the recommendation, Union home secretary R K Singh in a note in March had said:
“I would once again request you to take appropriate action in the light of the recommendation and also apprise this ministry about the action taken in this regard”.
Singh also asked them to do the follow up exercise again in December and make it a practice to send status report to the home ministry on a half-yearly basis.
The Sachar Committee had made various recommendations which are being followed up simultaneously by different ministries, taking into account their jurisdiction and subject.
“The particular suggestion on posting of Muslim cops is being followed up by the home ministry”, said an official, adding the status of implementation of other recommendations concerning overall welfare of Muslims will be discussed in the national conference of state ministers for minority welfare here on Thursday.
