By delivering his speech at the 100th General Assembly Session of Interpol in Monaco in Hindi, the Union Home Minister, Shri Rajnath Singh has set a new record. Speaking on the topic “Contemporary Criminal Trends and New Challenges to police cooperation” on Tuesday, he has set a new milestone as it was the first time any speech had been delivered in Hindi in the General Assembly of Interpol in the last 100 years.
He congratulated the Interpol on attaining its centenary status and appreciated the efforts towards international cooperation from all the member countries to turn back the crime. The Home Minister also cited the Indian philosophy ‘Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam’- the whole world is a family.
He said that India believes in the wellbeing of the whole world alongside its own. He reiterated that India upholds stronger international relation towards legal cooperation among the countries to tackle crime and more importantly the transnational organized crime. He quoted the saying of the great Indian philosopher Swami Vivekanand “The decay in societies is not so much attributed to the activities of the criminal but to the inactivity and neutral attitude of the good people”.
Shri Rajnath Singh underlined the role of information technology to bring about even better control in the field of cyber security, preventing misuse of internet social media for spreading toxic ideology in particular including the radicalization of the people. The subject of fool proof cyber security is of paramount importance.
The Union Home Minister exhorted the member countries to implement mutual legal assistant treaty in true letter and spirit so as to complete investigation in time. The cases relating to money laundering, terrorism, financial and high-tech crimes, intellectual property rights violation and illegal migrations are problems affecting all the countries and therefore we all should join hands to strengthen Interpol to fight these issues.
Shri Rajnath Singh appreciated the e-extradition module as also Online Mutual Legal Assistance request writer developed by UNODC and Interpol respectively for speedier handling of cases.
The Union Home Minister concluded his speech by appreciating the role of Interpol in integrating the efforts of the member countries to tackle crime and conveyed his best wishes for even more power and effective Interpol.
