Retd SC judge V. Ramasubramanian was named NHRC chief by panel that also included Modi, Shah, Om Birla & Harivansh. Oppn leaders had nominated retd justices K.M. Joseph, Rohinton Nariman.
The NHRC’s 30-year legacy has been marred by accusations of it being a ‘silent spectator’ to human rights violations. Now it’s at risk of losing its top-level accreditation.
NHRC has selectively issued notices, carefully kept Modi government out of its glare, and left the poor to be tortured by the apathy of the administration.
The key to fighting a war successfully, or even launching it, is a clear objective. That’s an entirely political call. It isn’t emotional or purely military.
