Kiren Rijiju in a tweet said policing is a thankless job but cops do it every day without any expectation. He later deleted the tweet.
In a tweet, Kiren Rijiju said, “Being a cop is a thankless job. But they don’t do it for thanks. Police officers put their lives on the line every day. They are damned if they do, and damned even if they don’t.”
He said, “What gets lost in all the anti-police rhetoric is the family left at home while a policeman serves.”
