President Ram Nath Kovind today said effective strengthening of human rights at ground level is collective task of whole society. Speaking at a function in New Delhi on the occasion of Human Rights Day, Mr Kovind said incidents of crime against women have been reported from many parts of the country recently.
He said the ideal way to commemorate the day is for the whole world to introspect what more is to be done to uphold the rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was adopted by the UN General assembly in 1948. The President said people should not ignore their duties as well. He added that Mahatma Gandhi saw rights and duties as two sides from the same coin. He said India’s national discourse has rightly focused on human rights and it can make space for duties as well.
