Yesterday, the Prime Minister of India, @narendramodi stated it has come to light, that issues of violation of human rights are being raised selectively by some people purely for political benefits.
He also added that Rights are Synonymous with duties.
What does the Bar think?
Sr. Adv. Satish Maneshinde:
“People who are now crying hoarse about human rights & violations of basic rights, raids being carried out, PMLA cases being foisted, are those who were part of government & administration when Emergency flourished - the Congress party & others.”
Same people who were in power (during emergency) after having violated basic human rights of various individuals, cannot be complaining of violations of human rights, particularly when they say that government is “high handed” & raiding opposition leaders!: Maneshinde
