Issue a statement on Police Brutality

PV Pirate Vik Public Seen by 59

In light of the guilty verdict in the case of the murder of George Flloyd, we should issue a statement and perhaps specifically call out Police Brutality as an area that requires greater governance in India. We need Law and Order, but the enforces of Law and Order must not be above the law themselves.

Special action for Police Brutality is not required at least in India. Closed Mon 3 May 2021 4:00PM

Existing laws and its stricter implementation would suffice. Dr. Ambedkar was visionary, he knew how Britishers used to 'force' the law. However he was clever to use the same law against Britishers for the benefit of our society.

The proposal is for greater governance, @Jigarkamble your poll seems to support my proposal as you say "stricter implementation may suffice" but I don't agree that you can rule out further legislation if stricter implementation does not in the end work.

@Jigarkamble what would you suggest as stricter implementation?

PV

Pirate Vik Mon 26 Apr 2021 3:13PM

one thing could be to overhaul the governance of The national and state human rights commissions so that they are citizen led

Stricter implementation means application of the appropriate laws instead of leaving it to police. Educating people about their rights when they are probably harassed or tortured by police.

the national and state human rights commission are supposed to prosecute these cases, but in practice they do not. educating people about their rights is for sure required, maybe that's something for us to campaign on
