In an interview with a media channel, Razai said that she always wanted to appear in the public service commission exams. It was a dream come true when she was selected as DCP.
She said, “I am very excited to serve as a police officer. There are many a time when people do not get justice, especially women. Women shy away from reporting to the police any incident of crime against them. I will try to ensure that such cases are reported.”
During the interview, she also appealed to the parent of the girl child, especially from the Muslim community to support the education of the child and allow her to fulfil her dreams.
When asked about wearing hijab or burqa during duty or in school and colleges, she said wearing hijab or burqa cannot be a deterrent for girls who want to go to school or colleges.
Razia Sultan said, “Wearing a burqa or hijab is not a restriction. If we think we can do any work then Allah gives us the power to overcome all kinds of hurdles.”
Razia has recently recovered from Covid-19 and asked people not to believe the rumours related to vaccination and should go to take vaccination to save lives.
