Decision by the Democratic Rights Sabha to Hold a Conference on Human Rights Day.
In honor of International Human Rights Day, the Democratic Rights Sabha’s Bathinda District Unit (Jamhoori Adhikar Sabha) is hosting a significant convention. The convention, with the theme “Current Challenges to Human Rights,” will take place at Teachers Home in Bathinda on Wednesday, December 10th, at 11:00 AM.
The State President, Professor Jagmohan Singh, will be the main speaker.
District President Principal Bagga Singh, Assistant Secretary Avtar Singh, and Press Secretary Dr. Ajitpal Singh provided information about this, stating that although the Indian government has also signed the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the government is engaging in various forms of repression at the command of imperialist forces, disregarding the rights outlined in that Declaration. Every person has the right to a life of independence and dignity.
They said that no one should be discriminated against on the basis of color, race, gender, language, religion, politics, different viewpoints, or geography. In addition, any person accused of a crime has the right to defend themselves and ought to be presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in a fair trial.
They did point out that India, which is sometimes referred to as the greatest democracy in the world, has a bad human rights situation. As part of the government’s declared objective to eradicate Naxalism by March 2026, “Operation Kagaar” entails the police, paramilitary groups, and DRG massacring tribal people and their leaders in order to seize water, forests, and land from them. There are also simulated police interactions. People like Umar Khalid and others have been imprisoned without charge or trial for years.
They also emphasized the fact that a number of public sector projects have been given to profit-seekers in exchange for meager compensation. There are now new labor regulations and criminal legislation in place. Soon to be put into effect are the Wakf Amendment Bill and the Electricity Amendment Bill. Pro-government organizations include the Election Commission, the CBI, the ED, and the NIA. Discrimination affects women, Dalits, and various minorities. The freedom of the press is also in danger. Power is concentrated in one place. Both privatization and saffronization (Bhagwakaran) are occurring in educational institutions. Communalism in all its manifestations is being promoted. The struggles of individuals from all facets of society continue to be a source of hope despite oppression and torture.
