A FEW QUESTIONS 

TO THE NATION

I have a few questions:

1.    Law forbids any one but an Army 

       soldier wearing Army fatigue. Why 

       then are the Armed Police Forces 

       allowed to wear the same? This is 

       what is letting the terrorists exploit 

       the illegal practice.

2.   Pathankot Air Base was attacked by a 
       Pak Commando detachement. Why 
       was the command and control of the 
       anti-commando operation at the 
       Pathankot Air Base, then handed over 
       to the IG NSG, with the Army under 
       him. Next, we will see the Army 
       operating under the Police Forces!

3.   Why an essentially anti-commando 

       operation planned and executed 

       under the over-all direction of the 

       NSA and not the Defence HQs? Will 

       tomorrows wars be directed by the 

       NSA?

4.   Prior to March 2011, Paramilitary 

Forces was a term loosely used 

without strict definitions and could 

include not only the Armed forces but 

also any of the Central Armed Police 

Forces and State Armed Police Forces 

and even organisations such as the 

Home Guard. In March 2011, the UPA 

Govt, at the request of the Indian 

Army, the Indian government 

issued a definitive terminology 

narrowing the definition of 

"paramilitary" excluding the services 

now known as the "Central Armed 

Police Forces" (CAPF) (e.g. the 

Central Reserve Police Force) and 

services now known as the "State 

Armed Police Forces". Refer :

story_13768094.jsp.

Why then is the HM still refering to 

the BSF and CRPF as Para-Military 

Forces?

      

5.   Why are all the Govts determined to 

      have the border deployed Central 

      Police Forces under the control of the 

      HM? 

      The Border Management Task      

      Force and the high-powered Group 

      of Ministers' report on "reforming the 

      national security system" after 

      the 1999 Kargil conflict with Pakistan 

      had stressed the "One Border-One 

      Force" principle. It said, "Multiplicity 

      of forces on the same borders has 

      inevitably led to the lack of 

      accountability as well as problems of 

      command and control".
