Union Home Minister takes the Salute at National Police Academy Investiture Parade

The Union Home Minister Shri Rajnath Singh today said that a police station should not create a sense of fear among the poor but it should become the ‘Temple of Justice.’ Addressing the Passing Out Parade at the Sardar Patel National Police Academy in Hyderabad, Shri Rajnath Singh said the police is the most visible face of the State and it has been institutionalised to create a sense of security among citizens. The police officers should be a mix of ‘Half Steel’ and ‘Half Wax’ and they should work towards enhancing their leadership qualities, he added.

The Union Home Minister remarked that the Investiture Ceremony is being held on Sardar Patel’s birth anniversary after a gap of ten years. “It should always be held on Sardar Patel’s jayanti,” he added. Shri Rajnath Singh highlighted Sardar Patel’s role in uniting India. “Had Sardar Patel not been India’s first Home Minister, integrating Hyderabad would have been difficult,” he said.

On the occasion, the Union Home Minister inspected the parade. He also inaugurated the new Administrative Office Building at the SVPNPA and laid wreath at the IPS memorial in the SVPNPA campus.

Earlier, Shri Rajnath Singh garlanded the statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel at a civic function held in the city on his birth anniversary today.

The Union Home Minister also administered the ‘Rashtriya Ekta Diwas’ pledge to the assembled gathering.
