Senior IPS officer Nurul Hoda, a 1995 batch officer and native of Sitamarhi, Bihar, has officially resigned from the Indian Police Service in protest against the prevailing Waqf law. Known for his upright character and unwavering dedication, Hoda’s departure marks a significant moment in the ongoing discourse around Waqf reforms in India, reported the Ichel News.
Beyond his career in the police force, Hoda has made significant contributions to society by providing free education to around 300 underprivileged children in his village. He firmly believes that education is the most powerful tool for real empowerment and societal upliftment.
Throughout his illustrious service, Hoda held key posts in challenging and sensitive areas such as Dhanbad, Asansol, and the Delhi division. He has been credited with introducing innovative strategies for railway security, Naxal management, and crime prevention. His efforts earned him multiple honors, including two Vishisht Seva Medals and two Director General Chakras.
Now stepping away from uniformed service, Hoda has expressed his intention to enter public life and politics. He sees this as a natural transition in his mission to serve the community and the country at a broader level. By trading khaki for khadi, he hopes to channel his administrative experience, grassroots connection, and commitment to justice into meaningful political action.
His move is being seen as a bold and symbolic act at a time when debates around Waqf properties and minority rights are intensifying. Hoda’s entry into politics could potentially give voice to those who feel unheard, especially in matters relating to communal harmony and constitutional rights.
