‘Selective’ interpretation of human rights slammed

New Delhi

Slamming those who engage in “selective interpretation” of human rights with an eye on political gains and loss, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, on Tuesday, that such conduct harms human rights as well as democracy. Speaking at the 28th foundation day of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Modi said the country should be wary of such people who try to dent its image in the name of raising the issue of human rights violations.
