Randhawa assails Centre's decision to unilaterally extend BSF jurisdiction

Chandigarh, Oct 13 (UNI) Slamming the Centre for the recent amendment in Section 139 of the BSF Act as being tantamount to an attack on federalism, Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa asked Union Home Minister Amit Shah to immediately withdraw this decision, on Wednesday.
In a statement here on Wednesday, Mr Randhawa, who also holds the portfolio of Home Affairs, said this illogical decision was absolutely against the spirit of the raising of border guarding forces, which are required to focus on the international border and act as the first line of defence.
He said that policing in the hinterland is not the role of a border guarding force, rather it would weaken the capacity of the Border Security Force in discharging its primary duty of guarding the international border.
