The Story in Brief
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday launched the Uttar Pradesh Police song ‘Khaki Ka Sitara’ at Lok Bhavan in Lucknow. He said security and the government’s zero-tolerance policy towards crime had changed the state’s image over nine years. The song features Amitabh Bachchan’s voice, while Shankar Mahadevan provided vocals and music, according to Hindustan Times.
Adityanath also praised actor Nana Patekar for supporting farmers during Maharashtra’s suicide crisis without publicity. Patekar features in a police cybercrime awareness film on digital arrest scams. The event was attended by senior officials, Patekar and Mahadevan.
The Indian Opinion
The official story presents celebrity participation and crime control as proof of better governance. Claims that a song or a single encounter can establish public safety are too sweeping, while dismissing every police achievement as publicity would also be unfair. The useful test is harder evidence: crime trends, conviction rates, riot data and complaints about digital fraud, published consistently across the nine-year period.
