"content": "Recently, when we were passing the Police Service Act, we suggested as a Committee to give the Inspector-General an opportunity to be the accounting officer. What did the Parliament do? They refused. Under sub-section 54 of the same Act, we said a policeman is supposed to protect life and property. Any person trying to threaten life and property, can the policeman take forceful action? This Parliament said no. So, what is that policeman supposed to do? It was very unfortunate that hon. Arati went to the Press and said that they were not going to merge. He has all the rights to do that. This is happening because there is no legislation. However, if we come here in Parliament and say there is only one Police Service, hon. Arati will not have a problem now to come and continue saying that we cannot merge---"
