Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar highlighted the affirmative changes taking place in Bharat, home to 1/6th of humanity, in the advancement of human rights, asserting its position as a ‘Role Model’ for the world. “No part of the globe is so blossoming and prospering with human rights as our country is,” he noted.
Delivering the keynote address at the Human Rights Day celebrations at Bharat Mandapam today, the Vice President underlined, “Our Amrit-Kaal has become our Gaurav-Kaal primarily due to the blossoming of human rights and values.” He further observed that “our civilizational ethics and constitutional commitment reflect our deep dedication to respecting, safeguarding, and nurturing human rights, which is in our DNA.”
Highlighting further, he emphasised, “Bharat serves as an example to the world in nurturing, promoting, and flourishing human rights.” Calling the nurturing of human rights a ‘cornerstone to democracy’, the Vice President stressed that “equality before law is an inalienable facet of promoting human rights”. He also appreciated the convergence of all three organs of the state, namely the Legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary, for the fostering of human rights, as “respect for human rights is embedded in our civilizational ethos and constitution,” he added.
