Restrain the police and stop their atrocities

The primary duty of the government both at the Centre and in the state is to restrain the police and stop their atrocities on unarmed and innocent public.The excessive force used by Pune police on unarmed farmers is shameful in any civilised society of a democratic country.The police firing on farmers in Pune district dominated the proceedings of both Houses of the Maharashtra Legislature with the Prithviraj Chavan government ordering a judicial probe into the incident that left three dead. But it is too little and a lengthy process to punish the errant policemen.
The Assembly saw five adjournments after the issue was raised through an adjournment motion and debated. In the Council, there was only one adjournment when Opposition members shouted slogans against the Congress-NCP government over the “killing” of innocent farmers during a protest at Maval near Pune .
The police firing killed four farmers and injured several. Though the police version is that the firing was first made from a private vehicle on them and in retaliation they fired on the farmers demonstrating against Congress-Shiv Sena government for acquiring their land for Expressway, can the police say that why did they broke the parked motor cycles and other vehicles of the farmers demonstrating there? Is the Video showing police aiming to shoot farmers wrong? Is It not the unnecessary use of excessive force by the police against unarmed and peaceful demonstration of farmers? Under whose order did the police fire which killed four farmers? The police have to give reply to the people. Is there political pressure on them to go against the farmers or were farmers instigated by opposition parties that led to firing?
Whatever may be the cause of action by the police, it is unfortunate and whoever is guilty must be awarded deterrent punishments.
The killing in police firing is not new in India and greater number of innocent lives have been lost several times in the past. The political party in power is accountable to the people. So, it is thepr first duty to punish the guilty police officials stringently. The police and public relation have been strained and the later has been fearful of the former in our country.
