The press release read: “The well-attended meeting was addressed by its president who revealed in detail the nexus of rampant corruption in the police department particularly the back door appointments of RC’s S.Is. The president called upon the jam-packed house whether they back out in their fight against such height of corruption and favouritism practised by few politicians in power although we have sympathy for the innocent and helpless police officers who will be at last victimized for serving the interests of their masters.”
The members “vociferously shouted in unison” that the “present raucous in the police department” should be brought to “legal and logical conclusion,” the union stated.

The organisation also expressed “amazement” as to why the chief minister was ‘being silent in this issue till today.’
The union has resolved to extend “full mandate” to the NTUCT members to ‘go ahead in pressing the concern authority to cancel all the back door appointees at the earliest and call for a fresh open recruitment whereby all the aspiring candidates would get equal opportunity to try their luck,’ the press release stated.
