Tezpur(Assam) : Army should not have been used in anti-insurgency operations in Punjab and Assam as it created mistrust between security forces and civil society, former Director General of Police KPS Gill said during his visit here as the Chief Patron of North East Sports Foundation.
Gill said, “Operation Blue Star in Punjab and Operation Bajrang in Assam were not necessary”.
He said, these operations created mistrust between the police, security forces and civil society and took the lives of many innocent people.
The former Punjab Police chief said that police should have been given a chance to deal with the problem.
