NEW DELHI: The Indian Police Service Association has strongly condemned an article in The New York Times questioning the conduct of police during the Delhi riots , calling it a combination of biased reporting, dangerous innuendo and outright lies."The article is clearly a concerted effort to denigrate and defame Indian Institutions," the IPS association said in a tweet adding, "Indian Police forces are professional bodies which do their duty without fear or favour.""Our personnel are neither Hindus nor Muslims. They are Indians, serve Indians and during critical times they have also sacrificed their lives for Indians," the IPS association has said in its tweet."It is easy to cast aspersions on police but here is a reminder that 2 security personnel have lost their lives in the riots and more than 70 were injured," it said adding, "India’s Police forces will keep doing their duty and ensure every Indian is protected."The New York Times had in an article alleged that police took part in violence against Muslims or stood aside during the riots.
