Kapil Sibal reaches out to north East students against racial bias
India Today | Ritika Chopra | New Delhi, May 24, 2012
Human Resource Development (HRD) minister Kapil Sibal's push has convinced the Delhi Police to go the extra mile to ensure the safety of youngsters from the North-Eastern states.
"Eight IPS officers from the North-Eastern states have been posted to Delhi recently. Robin Hibu from Arunachal Pradesh has joined as the new inspector general... he along with at least two more IPS officers will be designated to address issues concerning North-East students and working youngsters in the Capital.
Sibal said he was left shocked by the disclosures made by a delegation of North-East students, who met him a fortnight ago. "My meeting with the students had lasted for about two hours. I was told of the kind of racial profiling they face. Some had been subjected to abuse not only from their peers but faculty as well. These issues are serious in nature and have to be addressed. The student and the teaching communities have to be sensitised and I feel the police can play a positive role in that," Sibal said.
