Addressing the opening ceremony of the Uttar Pradesh Pharma Conclave 1.0, the Chief Minister said strict and consistent enforcement of the policy had strengthened public safety, pointing to the peaceful conduct of major festivals and celebrations in the last nine years as evidence. He said strong police action was essential to maintain law and order and that criminals must be dealt with “in the language they understand”.
“People wonder why the police shot. If the police don’t shoot, should they be shot?” Adityanath asked, defending the use of armed force when necessary. He said police personnel are equipped and trained to fight armed criminals and must take decisive action in such situations.
The Prime Minister added that police action is initiated within the framework of the law, but in certain situations, quick decisions are necessary when offenders ignore legal warnings.
“If a criminal has the freedom to fire a gun, then the police officers have also been given guns so that they can counter criminals. They have been trained for this very purpose. They have to deal with the criminals in the language they understand,” the Prime Minister said.
“When the government took action against criminals, police officers tried to do so within the ambit of the law. But this does not always happen and in some situations, when offenders are not afraid of the law, it becomes necessary to bring them within the ambit of the law and explain them in the language they understand,” he added.
He also emphasized that the zero-tolerance policy applies to everyone equally, regardless of status or belief. “If someone from our own group commits a crime, the same law will apply as a member of the mafia or any criminal. There will be no favoritism,” he said, adding that the law applies the same to everyone.
