Gurugram: Transgenders should be given a chance to join security forces, said S S Deswal, Director General of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) and the Border Security Force (BSF) on Sunday.
"Transgenders are also human. They should also get employment opportunities to live a respectful life. It would be a good decision," Deswal told reporters upon being questioned about the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) asking CRPF, ITBP, SSB, and CISF to examine the issue of incorporating 'transgender' as the Third gender in rules of CAPF (AC) Exam 2020.
Further, DG Deswal said that the BSF is always ready to foil any attempt by Pakistan to destabilise the country by attempting to infiltrate terrorists or push in weapons and drugs in the country from across the border.
"Pakistan is always trying to push terrorists, arms, and drugs into India. They are always trying to destabilise the country, all our preparations are in order to foil their attempts. BSF has always tackled them, whether it is BAT action or an infiltration attempt," he said.
"Technology keeps updating with time, the drones are being used by the enemies but the security forces are aware and we are sure of foiling any attempt by them to push in weapons or drugs," he added.
