CRPF : Police or Army or Paramilitary ?

CRPF, as well as BSF, CISF, etc, are called a Central Armed Police Force They are not para-military forces. The media mostly incorrectly used the term paramilitary Though each force has its own officer cadre, the senior ranks are all filled by IPS officers on deputation.

The only paramilitary force is Assam Rifles. Its officers are on deputation from the army.

The opposition kept the parliament at standstill, demanding to have a fair and square discussion on the important issues such as Pegasus Spyware, Farm Laws etc. Now there are two ways to look at this issue, which depends on what side of political fence you stand on. Looking it from the government point of view, there stand have been that parliament can’t function amidst all the chaos and ruckus created by the opposition.
