PM Modi pitches for ‘One Nation, One Uniform’ for police

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing the first Chintan Shivir (brainstorming session) of state home ministers and top police officers, pitched the idea of a single uniform for police forces across the country on Friday.

“The ‘One Nation, One Uniform’ for police is just an idea. I am not trying to impose it on you. Just give it a thought. It may happen, it may happen in 5, 50 or 100 years. All the states should just think it over,” the prime minister said, adding that he believed the identity of police across the country should be the same.

“There is one important issue for our nation. Currently in our country, there is a ‘one nation, one ration’ card; ‘one nation, one mobility’ card; ‘one nation, one grid’ and a ‘one nation, one sign language’. Just like this, all the states should think of a ‘one nation, one uniform’ policy. It will also provide profit and also will give a common identity to law enforcement as citizens will recognise police personnel anywhere in the country. Just like there is a post box that has a distinct identity, police uniforms should be identifiable uniformly across the country,” Modi said via videoconferencing.
