Govt to write to states for security of NE students: Chidambaram
Seven Sisters Post | PTI, New Delhi (May 4)
In the wake of uproar over death of two youth from Northeast recently, government on Friday said it will write to all states asking them to have “zero tolerance” towards crime against people from that region as serious concern was expressed in Rajya Sabha over it.
Home minister P Chidambaram rejected allegations about racial profiling of people from Northeast anywhere in the country but said there has been “certain discrimination” against “certain people”, which was earlier in the name of language and region.
“On October 25, 2010, a more clear and comprehensive order to Delhi Police in this regard was issued by the home ministry,” he informed the members. “I intend to issue the circular in a more modified form to all states…for chief ministers to make police of all states aware of harassment towards students from NE,” he said.
“The Government of India will take every step to ensure their security and I am confident that all state governments will discharge their constitutional responsibilities to ensure the safety and security of all people residing within that state,” Chidambaram said.
