Respected Dr. Manmohan Singh
Prime Minister
Prime Minister office, New Delhi
Sir,
Peoples' Vigilance Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR) on the day of its establishment and International Day in support of torture victims heartiest greets for being elected second time prime Minister of biggest democratic country of world. All the citizen of India is expecting from your Government to stop the anarchy based torture and to establish the rule of law.
The first Prime Minister of India Mr. Jawahar Lal Nehru states "Police is standing on quadrilateral from where it can protect and also violates human rights"however today the negative aspects of police are unrestrained in the society. Most of the direct and indirect torture done by the police are belongs to marginalized communities. After so many decades of independence there is no amendment in the colonial police act, 1861. Which result now Indian police is following on the same foot step of Britishers with same spirit of censorship for silence and bruising the democratic voice on the direction of anti-poor administration.
We, Indian urge for the immediate and firm action to protect the human rights by using your esteem position in policy making with the view as police is biggest agency for the protection of human rights where the highest human rights violation happened. It can be stopped with the implementation of given below points:
- To formulate police reform on the report of police commission
- Torture bill should be enacted through the discussion among the public.
- Ratification of UN convention against torture (UNCAT), 1997.
- To establish the schemes for social, economic and psychological rehabilitation of survivors of torture and organized violence.
- Post mortem should not be done or related with the schedule caste Dom community but by the trained personnel. Because Post Mortem report is important evidence before the court in criminal cases.
- To amend as removal of the section 197 of Cr.P.C. and direct provision of case on the alleged government personnel and officers
