Police's work not limited to maintaining law and order: Yogi
Lucknow, Aug 16 (UNI) Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today appealed to the Uttar Pradesh Police to adopt the ideals of Lord Krishna and establish peace and harmony in the society. Describing the police as the backbone of the society, the CM said that their role is not limited to maintaining law and order, but they can also make a significant contribution in promoting harmony and unity in the society. Participating in the cultural programme organised at the Reserve Police Line premises here on the auspicious occasion of Sri Krishna Janmashtami, Yogi said that the incarnation of Lord Krishna in Mathura 5,000 years ago is not only a festival, but it is a source of inspiration for police personnel and common citizens towards national duties. Describing Lord Krishna's teachings 'Karmanye Wa Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana' (You have the right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions) as the basis of national duties, he said that Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar inspired every person to do selfless work by including the duties of citizens in the Constitution. He appealed to the police to implement this teaching in their lives, so that they can bring positive change in the society. Quoting Lord Krishna's teachings 'Paritranaya Sadhunam Vinashaya Cha Dushkritam', he said that only by protecting the gentle powers and destroying the evil powers, a positive atmosphere will be created in the society. He said that empowerment of gentle powers paves the way for peace, harmony and development in the society, while evil powers give rise to anarchy and insecurity. The CM called upon the police personnel to make the ideals of Lord Krishna a part of their duties. He said that it is the responsibility of the police to completely ignore the negative forces and lead the society on the path of unity and peace. The CM appreciated the grand celebrations of Janmashtami in police stations, police lines and training centres, which reflect the unity and enthusiasm of the police family. He directed the police to consider these events as a source of inspiration and work continuously to create a positive atmosphere in the society. On this occasion, he watched the presentation of cultural programmes based on patriotism and cultural prosperity organised by Lucknow Police Commissionerate. He praised the commitment and enthusiasm of the Lucknow Police family. Yogi appealed to the police personnel to imbibe the ideals of Lord Krishna and discharge their duties with selfless work. Cabinet Minister Swatantra Dev Singh, Rajya Sabha MP Dr Dinesh Sharma, former minister and Legislative Council member Dr Mahendra Singh, Mayor Sushma Kharkwal, MLA Neeraj Bora, Principal Secretary Home Sanjay Prasad, Director General of Police Rajiv Krishna and many senior police officers were present in the function.
