Speaking at the foundation day celebrations of the National Human Rights Commission, he emphasized that India does not welcome being lectured on human rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dhankhar referred to significant historical events such as Partition, the imposition of Emergency, and the 1984 anti-Sikh riots as traumatic experiences that serve as a stark reminder of the fragility of liberty. He pointed out that these forces systematically aim to unfairly tarnish India&#8217;s reputation and have a &#8220;sinister design&#8221; to question the country&#8217;s human rights record on international platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He stressed the need to combat these forces, suggesting the term &#8220;pratighat,&#8221; or counter-attack, to describe India&#8217;s response. The Vice President also criticized various global indexes that rank countries on human rights issues, asserting that these rankings are designed to misrepresent India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Addressing the contentious hunger index, Dhankhar highlighted that during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Indian government provided free rations to over 80 crore people, irrespective of their caste or creed, countering claims about the country&#8217;s hunger levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi, October 18 \u2013 Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar issued a warning on Friday about &#8220;pernicious forces&#8221; attempting to portray India in a negative light, advocating for a &#8220;counter-attack&#8221; to neutralize such efforts.
