Indian Police.
Government of India have replied as follows;
Government of India are opposed to employment of Indians as Policemen in Foreign countries and cannot agree to proposed visit of a Punjabi speaking European Assistant Superintendent of Police for recruitment of Indians for Hong Kong police.
