New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday took a veiled dig at the Opposition and said that human rights are violated when an incident is seen through the \u201cpolitical spectacles\u201d and this \u201cselective behaviour\u201d is harmful to the democracy.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the 28th foundation day programme of the National Humans Rights Commission of India (NHRC), PM Modi said, \u201cSome people see human rights violations in some incidents but not in other similar incidents. Human rights are violated when viewed via political spectacles. Selective behaviour is harmful to democracy. They attempt to harm the nation\u2019s image through their selective behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHuman rights should not be only about rights, but also duties. The two should be discussed together, not separately. Other than awareness of their rights, each individual must abide by their duties,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Chairperson of National Human Rights Commission of India Justice Arun Kumar Mishra were also present at the event.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister had earlier said that NHRC plays an important role in our nation in protecting the human rights and dignity of the marginalised.<\/p>\n
As per a Prime Minister\u2019s office release, NHRC was set up under the Protection of Human Rights Act 1993 on October 12, 1993, for the promotion and protection of human rights.<\/p>\n
The Commission takes cognisance of any form of human rights violations, conducts enquiries and in cases of violation of human rights, recommends to the public authorities for payment of compensation to the victims, other remedial and legal measures against the erring public servants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
