‘It’s government’s responsibility to run governance without affecting citizen’s rights’
Mangaluru, July 02: Social worker, columnist and director of New Delhi-based Centre for Equality Studies Harsh Mander on Monday said that it was the responsibility of the government to run governance without affecting rights of the citizens and guide them to obey and maintain law and order.
Mr. Mander, who arrived in the city as part of the ‘Karwan e Mohabbat’ movement, addressed a press conference at city’s press club.
The noted writer said “In the past ten days, there has been a massive collective violation of civil laws in 20 places. In these cases, mobs carried assaults and murders especially on Dalits, women, Muslims and other minorities.”
“The police department must protect the citizen’s rights. But, it has become a matter of concern that such assaults are taking place under police observation. Several people are filming and broadcasting such incidents. At this point, whichever party is in power must protect the rights of citizens without any discrimination," he added.
He further said, “in Karavali (coastal region) the state government has the responsibility to protect and provide justice to the Hussainabba’s family, who was killed with the help of police by the same kind of group.”
“In a bid to inculcate confidence and alert the government, Karwan e Mohabbat movement is being organised across the nation,” he added.
The organisers of the Caravan e Mohabbat movement Job Dayal, Natasha Badhwar, Vidya Dinakar and others were present.
