By Asghar Ali Engineer,
It seems quite a stale topic as we know how police behaves during communal disturbances or even before and after. RecentlyPrime Minister of the country also expressed serious concern about increasing incidents of communal violence in the countryduring his inaugural address to one-day conference of Directors General and Inspectors General in Delhi along withintelligence officers. The Prime Minister of the country expresses concern and draws their attention to a problem it could benothing but very serious indeed.
For first four months almost no communal disturbances took place and I was feeling happy that after all this year may turn outto be my dream year i.e. riot-free year. However, my dream was shattered when series of r iots began to take place in U.P. andelsewhere, especially after Mulayam Singhs Samajwadi Party was elected to power. It once again proved that r iots arepolitically motivated and has nothing to do with religion. But for sure religious prejudices are spread for political purposes.

chessboard. It is true in many cases, even in case of Gujarat where many good officers tried to resist pressure but did notsucceed, but it is not always true. Police officers have inbuilt deeper prejudices. For that not only school syllabuses but alsopolice training courses have to be drastically changed and policemen given high pressure secular indoctrination and muchmore.
Also, what is needed is the judgment of the type of Naroda Patiya in Ahmedabad wherein a cabinet rank minister was given 28years in prison for provoking communal riots violating secular Indian Constitution. This will discourage these politicians fromcheap way of getting elected by playing with raw communal passions of their constituents. We must salute the courage ofJustice Jyotsna Yagnik.
