Every police officer is a constitutional functionary. Her / his actions and decisions decide how the rights guaranteed by the constitution are translated into everyday realities for citizens :
The Constitution of India represents the country’s ultimate social contract. It binds 1.4 billion people together by promising dignity, equality, justice, and liberty to all.
It obligates every police officer, every public servant, every public institution, and every citizen, to remember this social contract – while upholding the democratic fabric of the Republic.

You can’t “Make in India” on your own with an outdated education system and outdated technology.
The slogan should evolve to: “Come Make in India.”
Attract the world’s best know-how, technology, and expertise. India needs that knowledge transfer even more than it needs foreign capital.
The dictum that justice must not only be done, but must also be seen to be done, applies not just to judges, but equally to police officers, government officials and all public servants.
Every time an officer abandons neutrality, he/she is not only compromising their personal conscience, they are also dismantling the very institutions on which the future of our democracy depends.
In conversation with @ShashiTharoor at the Chettinad Heritage Festival. We discussed politics, competing ideas of India, AI, cockroaches, and more. Great fun, with a very engaged audience.
India’s future as a great democracy will depend, in no small measure, on how the nation reimagines its police force as a guarantor of rights, individual dignity, and equal citizenship of all it’s 1.50 people, irrespective of their status, religious identity or political affiliation. Recognising this constitutional role of the police is crucial.
Today marks 20 years since the Supreme Court's verdict in Prakash Singh vs Union of India, a milestone in India's police reform journey. We acknowledge @singh_prakash 's sustained efforts toward this cause. IPF remains committed to the mission of police reform. #PoliceReform
Peace is far more than the absence of conflict.
It's the presence of restraint of power by law.
It's the recognition, as enshrined in the @UN Charter, that force cannot be the final arbiter of whose lives, rights & future matter.
Amid increasing conflicts around the world, my message to world leaders at #UNGA today:
We must defend the Charter without double standards.
Protect civilians without exception.
Ensure humanitarian access without obstruction.
Shield humanitarian personnel without fail.
Advance nuclear non‑proliferation & disarmament without delay.
And demand accountability without fear or favour.

Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."
