Assam Rifles says sorry to scribes
The Telegraph | Nishit Dholabhai | New Delhi, Feb. 17:
The Assam Rifles yesterday apologised to journalists in Manipur, following the rap received from Union home minister Rajnath Singh when he visited Manipur last week. Rajnath had a word of caution for the Assam Rifles, the country's oldest paramilitary force. "The home minister told the Assam Rifles to say sorry to journalists and said the press should not be harassed," said a top home ministry source.
However, it is not just about misbehaviour with journalists that Assam Rifles has been accused of. Ever since the rape and murder of Th. Manorama in 2004 in which the armed forces earned a bad name, the force has been struggling to protect its honour in the conflict zone.
