In a strong statement on Thursday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi pledged that his party would overhaul the discriminatory system marginalizing Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) personnel from leadership roles once they come to power.

On the occasion of CRPF Valour Day, Gandhi emphasized the importance of promoting CAPF personnel to leadership positions within their own Force. He believes they possess the necessary training, experience, and strategic insight critical to national security.

Despite their invaluable service, CAPF personnel remain excluded from leadership due to external leadership appointments, undermining their morale. Gandhi stated that upon forming the government, his party aims to dismantle these systemic barriers and ensure CAPF personnel receive their due rights and privileges.
