His job is to break the PDP, harass people and journalists, and threaten people. Verification has been weaponized. They are finding ways to impose UAPA on the maximum number of people. The Maulwi are being blackmailed. We don't need a fixer here, we need a DGP. We have had DGPs from other states before and they have worked very well. No one has worked on communal lines like things are being done now," she said.
