Chintan Shivir in Haryana: The meeting of the Home Ministers of the states with Union Home Minister Amit Shah is going on in Surajkund, Haryana. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also participated in this meeting through virtual medium. Here he also addressed all the Home Ministers. In his address, he said that strengthening the unity of the country during festivals is a reflection of your preparedness amidst various challenges. Law and order is the responsibility of the states but they are also related to the unity and integrity of the nation.

He further said that this Chintan Shivir of Home Ministers in Surajkund is an excellent example of cooperative federalism. States can learn from each other, draw inspiration from each other and work together for the betterment of the country. At the same time, he said that this is the spirit of the Constitution and it is our duty towards our citizens. The next 25 years will be for the construction of 'Amrit Peeth'.

He also said that this 'Amrit Peeth' will be created by imbibing the resolutions of 'Panch Pran' - building a developed India, freedom from all colonial mindset, pride in heritage, unity and most importantly, civic duty. He said that law and order is no longer limited to one state. Crime is happening interstate and internationally. With technology, criminals now have the power to commit crimes in the states. Criminals are misusing technology beyond limits. Coordination between agencies of all states and coordination between central and state agencies is essential.

Referring to the Corona period, he said that the reputation of the police improved during that time. They were helping the needy, arranging essentials, risking their lives. There was no lack of dutifulness in them. The need is to maintain a good impression. For this, the police force should be motivated, planned and guided. Be it cyber crime or the use of drone technology for smuggling weapons or drugs, we have to keep working on new technology for them.
