PM Proposes "One Nation, One Uniform For Police": "Not Trying To Impose"

The Prime Minister, addressing a "Chintan Shivir" of state home ministers, said he thinks that the identity of the police across the country could be identical.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday proposed the idea of "One Nation, One Uniform" for police, in yet another pitch to have uniformity among various forces. He said it was "just an idea" and not an imposition and asked the states to think about it as just a suggestion.

"The 'One Nation, One Uniform' for police is just an idea. I am not trying to impose it on you. Just give it a thought. It may happen, it may happen in five, 50, or 100 years. But let's give it a thought," PM Modi said.

The Prime Minister, addressing a "Chintan Shivir" of state home ministers, said he thinks that the identity of the police across the country could be identical.

PM Modi also advocated close cooperation among the states to tackle crimes and criminals.
