Police chiefs’ meet from Jan 6-8, focus on inter-faith marriages, terror


The Indian Express
December 29, 2017

The annual police chiefs’ conference which was pushed back because of the Gujarat elections last month will be held from January 6 to 8 in Tekanpur, near Gwalior. Illegal migrants, Kashmir and the role of Pakistan-based terror groups such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Jaish-e-Mohammad will be high on the agenda, said officials of the Home Ministry.

They said cases of inter-community marriages in Kerala are likely to be taken up for discussion during the conference in the wake of the National Investigation Agency claiming before the Supreme Court that the case of Akhila, who converted to Islam and married a Muslim man, is not an “isolated incident”. The agency has told the court that it had detected a “pattern” emerging in Kerala.

The conference was earlier scheduled for December 1-3. It was held back because the busy schedule of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the Gujarat elections campaign would not permit him to present at the conference. Home Minister Rajnath Singh and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval are expected to be present at the conference.

The agenda, finalised by the Intelligence Bureau (IB), includes issues related to internal security, human trafficking, demonetisation, narcotics, rising cases of traffic-related deaths, disaster management, safety of women, inter-state police coordination and tourist police.

India Joins Russia in Voting Against West-Backed Move to Expand Powers of OPCW

The Wire: June 28, 2018 New Delhi: India voted against a UK-backed move that will allow the global chemical weapons watchdog to apportion blame for illegal attacks, criticising the decision to grant “unchecked powers” to the head of the group which could be used for “partisan” purposes. On Wednesday, more than two-thirds of the member states of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) voted to authorise the international body to identify the perpetrators and sponsors of a chemical weapons attack. It also specifically called on the OPCW’s technical secretariat to begin work on identifying the perpetrators behind the use of chemical weapons in Syria. The draft decision, sponsored by 30 countries, was adopted at the fourth special session of the conference of the states parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention at the Hague, with 82 in favour and 24 negative votes. While Europe, the United States and their allies voted ‘yes’, there was strong oppo...
