Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today said that when he was the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, he had assured the state's police officers and staff that they would not be hassled by the human rights commission when tackling Maoists.
Singh, who was addressing personnel at the Rajasthan Police Academy, revealed that he had then told the police officers that if the need arose, he would himself face the commission.
Singh was the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh from October 2000 to March 2002.
"I remember when I was the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, a huge region was reeling under the threat of Maoism, and many officers had been killed. I asked all the senior police officers to accept this challenge."
