During the celebration of the National Human Rights Commission in New Delhi Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar condemns what he termed as ‘sultry silence’ of the international community on plight of Hindus in the neighboring countries. He accused the so-called moral preachers and human rights’ protectors in the international community of turning blind folds on the plight of Hindus especially the barbrism and torture and traumatized women, boys and girls. Without pointing to specific nations, Dhankhar echoed concerns over assaults on Hindu places of worship, after recent events in Bangladesh that were criticized by India’s Ministry of External Affairs.
Dhankhar talked a good length about the virtues of the CAA with particular emphasis on how it has been described as the nation’s social goodwill. The CAA offers the very quick citizenship to the non-Muslim immigrants who are the victims being persecuted in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. He pointed and rightly so, saying, “There could not have been a better symbol of parliamentary goodwill and benevolence in general.”
He also condemned the approach of using human rights as a kind of foreign policy He also offered provoking criticism of the “naming and shaming” method of diplomacy. The saying you have to practice what you preach comes from the adage that you have to preach only what you practice. There has not been any shooting incidents in the schools in India like some of the developed countries which, said Dhankhar.
The endorsement of Dhanker’s comment can also be attributed to his international double standard in the approach of the violation of human rights and his assertion of the Indian approach to the protection of the religious minority as a model for the rest of the worlds. He stressed on the subject of equity and equality in terms of humanitarian jurisprudence all over the globe.
