DEBATE (1)
It will create further confusion in the para-military forces.

“Delhi’s nightmare was like reliving horrors of 1984 riots”
Shaheen Bagh is not leaderless. It is not a movement, but a conspiracy. The old grannies did not receive an "ilhaam" to squat and block public space 24x7.
Riots in N-E Delhi did not happen suddenly on the spur of the moment and under an impulse. Instead, these were part of a grand strategy jointly crafted by the congis, the commies, the aaptards and others. All played into the hands of anti-nationals.
Now, the Congress supremo is preaching ‘Raj Dharma’ from the high pedestal. Shameful.
Conspiracy was hatched in advance with Pakistan's complicity. Massive preparations must have gone into the making of acid bombs, petrol bombs, mobilising stones on terraces. It must have taken weeks, even months
Was there intelligence failure, one wonders?
Delhi Police was ordered to behave like clueless nincompoops. Inert, inactive and speechless.
BJP goons went berserk. FIRs were not registered against the loose cannons. Their jingoistic utterances added fuel to fire. Headless chickens. Top leaders were busy with Donald Trump.
“Kaum ke ranj mein , dinner khaatey hain hukkaam ke saath, Ranj leader koh bahut hai magar aaraam ke saath” (Akbar Allahabadi)
A Delhi HC judge who " dared " to question Delhi police for failing to file FIRs, was transferred at late hours. Ill-advised, motivated.
Orders, as per media reports , were issued by Deptt of Justice (MHA) on Feb 12, 2020 after the approval of Supreme court collegium. If implementation of order could be delayed by over one week, it could as well be delayed by few hours till completion of hearing, the next day. This raises suspicion in public mind.
All things considered, the nightmare was a joint venture of all political parties. How brazen ?

Indian Armed Police Service a Non-Starter

DEBATE(1)
The concept of an Indian Armed Police Service is a non-starter. Each one of the erstwhile paramilitary forces have a role that is specialised and specific. The CRPF AC is trained in maintenance of public order. The BSF AC is trained in border management, the ITBP AC undergoes specialised mountaineering training, SSB was raised as a local intelligence organisation, and CISF is specifically designed for facilities safety. To unify these highly specialised tasks will risk undoing the high degree of proficiency these men and women have obtained in their assigned jobs, and replace it with a broad brush type service, which is Jack of all trades, and master of none. Reliance for specialisation will fall to Sub-Inspector level staff, and the professionalism of all these organisations will nose dive.

Lateral Entry
How long it will take for lateral entry and specialisation to become a norm?
