Saying ‘beat constable’ in the police hierarchy is most important person, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said it is the former who makes democracy successful.
Shah made this remark during the 51st foundation day event of the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPRD).
Home Minister Shah said democracy cannot be successful if law and order in a country is not good.
He said it is the beat constable, the cop in-charge of the smallest unit under a police jurisdiction, who is the main and the most important person who makes the democracy successful.
Addressing officers and personnel from various central, state and Union Territory police forces, Shah said the next decade is going to be very important from the point of internal security as the country under Prime Minister Narendra Modi was taking giant leaps in becoming a strong nation and economy.
