Asking paramilitary forces to tackle violence with "patience, tact and understanding", Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on Friday stressed that the right to use force should be exercised responsibly.
In dealing with violence, he said, the state alone has the right to use force.
"If the state uses it force, it has to be used responsibly. The state cannot use excessive force. The state cannot use force against unarmed and defenceless people. These are the limitations that come with the right to use force," Chidambaram said while speaking at the Investiture ceremony of the Border Security Force (BSF).
He requested all paramilitary forces to "remember that while the state has power to use force, we must respect its limitations because if we do not observe the limitations of the force, the people will question the intentions and the goals that have been set. The people will question the legitimacy of the state to use force."
