Don't indulge in moral policing'; support police: Daya Nayak tells students

Moodbidri, Sep 6: Exhorting the youth to stay away from moral policing and taking law into their hands, encounter specialist Daya Nayak said that people should instead support police in maintaining law and order.

Speaking on Crime, Youth and Society' after inaugurating Rostrum', Speakers' club organised by Alva's Institute of Engineering and Technology, on Tuesday, at AIET Auditorium, Mijar, here, he said that moral policing' will not make the system proper.

The police department is responsible for maintaining law and order in the society and citizens are equally responsible to cooperate with the department and follow the law, he noted.

The sub-inspector of Mumbai Police said: “It is globally accepted that the Scotland cops are the most effective police force in the world. But the fact is Indian police work harder and functions more effectively than the Scotland police. What makes the difference is the cooperation that departments receive from the people is not seen in India, while Indians lack the courtesy to abide by the law.”

Calling upon the students to excel in one field, he urged them to contribute valuable service to this country in one or another way.

Answering query he said, If I am getting punishment for doing good works, I will not get back from doing that, If I found guilty law will punish me'. Even after more than 70 years of Independence, the Police Act is still not amended. We still follow the outdated Police Act, he lamented.

He said, success is guaranteed virtue, but it takes a lot of excellence and calibre to achieve it. As long as your conscious is clear, no one can stop you from achieving any heights. He added, it is necessary to make the students aware of law conducting law courses in the college.

Alva's Education Managing Trustee Vivek Alva, AIET Principal Dr Peter Fernandies, Rostrum President Raksha Satish, Secretary Murali Krishna Achari were present among others.
