Rights of the transgenders have always been an issue in our country. They constantly had to face communal descrimination and people always kept them aside.
Recently, Ministry of Home Affairs has asked for opinion to the five forces that are SSB, BSF, CRPF, ITBP and CISF about the inclusion of transgenders to be an officer.
BSF had already showed it’s consent now CRPF spread their hands to welcome the transgenders to be the change.
Two days after the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) asked the paramilitary forces for their views on recruitment of transgender people as officers in their ranks, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has said it is ready make its force “compatible” to the new recruits.
The CRPF communication refers to the April 15, 2014 judgment of the Supreme Court declaring transgender people as the Third Gender. Following this, Parliament passed the The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act in 2019.
Sources said other forces are also likely to give a positive response.
