Advocate for VIPs in India to Forgo Police Escort and Siren Use

The Issue

Like millions of everyday citizens across India, my concern for this issue isn't personal, but it points towards the larger picture of fairness and equality that we all dream of achieving in our society. It involves the VIPs of our nation who are currently using  sirens and police escorts, leading to regular traffic stops that disrupt the daily commutes of countless individuals.

This petition advocates for these privileged few to voluntarily give up their police escorts and cease the use of sirens that result in traffic being stopped for their convenience.

Accentuating the division between 'us' and 'them' in this era of striving for equality doesn't seem right. Even after 75 years of independence India 's ruling class unfortunately likes to continue with this feudal practice .

A comparison of global norms reveals that in numerous developed nations, siren usage is strictly regulated, and disrupting normal traffic flow for VIP movement is rarely practised. A self-regulated discipline by VIPs could bring about a massive change, shifting our country towards a more egalitarian society.

Let's remind our VIPs that they are public servants and must act in the best interest of the citizens they represent. By signing this petition, you are calling on all VIPs in India to voluntarily give up their police escort, stop using sirens and ensure no traffic is stopped for them. Together, we can make a change, bring justice to everyday commuters and ensure fair treatment for all citizens on Indian roads. Sign today to pave the way for a more equal India tomorrow.
