Bengaluru: The Home Ministry yesterday withdrew the controversial circular issued by the office of the Director-General and Inspector-General of Police (DG&IGP) to heads of all districts on dropping cases registered against “innocent minorities,” claiming that it was a “clerical error.”
The circular, which had riled the BJP that said it amounted to “minority appeasement,” was recalled and the department issued a revised version instead, dropping the word “minorities” and inserted “all innocent people.”
