Workshop on International Human Rights Day concludes
Bhopal: Governor Anandiben Patel has said that as soon as we are born as human beings, we automatically become the owners of universal human rights. This is such a privilege, that everyone should get in an honorable manner from birth till death. Patel was addressing the one-day training workshop organized on the occasion of International Human Rights Day on Cyber Security and Human Rights by the Madhya Pradesh Human Rights Commission at the Madhya Pradesh Police Academy in Bhounri.
She said that our country has a fair judiciary, active media and a conscious society. Yet there is need for the Human Rights Commission because sometimes many people do not understand and cannot be convinced and even small things in life become matters of dispute. It is then that the Human Rights Commission paves a way through strictness and persuasion. The Governor said that it is the moral responsibility of the entire society that human right does not just remain a slogan. It should be imbibed in us like our culture.
Anandiben Patel said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that human rights are a part of the country's culture. If we stay connected to our culture and traditions, then we can protect human rights. She told the trainee police officers that you have to work for 18 hours at a stretch. Therefore be healthy and work without any worries. Never come under pressure and commit mistakes. She said that as technical resources like mobile, computer, internet, facebook, whatsapp etc., have increased, crime is also increasing. It is your responsibility to stop these crimes, explain and make people aware. She said that while doing all this, take care not to mete out injustice to a good and honest person.
Justice Narendra Kumar Jain, Chairperson of Madhya Pradesh and Sikkim State Human Rights Commission, highlighted the needs of the Human Rights Commission at the workshop. He said that 'hum sab barabar, barabar hamare adhikar” (we all are equal, and our rights are equal) which means , the concept of human rights has been existing from the Vedic period. Earlier these were known as natural rights. He said that after the Second World War, work in this direction began on 25th June, 1945 on the initiative of the United Nations at the international level and on December 10, 1948, its written document was prepared, in which approximately 117 countries including India agreed for its implementation. For this reason, the International Human Rights Day is celebrated on December 10 every year. The process of formation of Human Rights Commission in India began in the year 1986 and was passed by the Indian Parliament on October 12, 1993. Madhya Pradesh State Human Rights Commission was established on December 13, 1995.
He clarified that despite the fact that every individual has the right to live with freedom, equality and respect, the human rights commission takes cognizance of the violation of rights of women and children and works to get them justice. Sarabjit Singh said during the workshop that fundamental rights are human rights. This is a vast topic. We all share the responsibility of protecting human rights.
A memento was presented to the Governor by the Chairman of the Human Rights Commission at the workshop. In the first session of the workshop, Manohar Mamtani, Member of the Commission, highlighted the rule of law and the goal of establishment of a public welfare state.
