‘Violation of Human Rights will never end’

IMPHAL | Dec 10

Retired IAS and treasurer of Manipur Cultural Integration Conference, R.K. Nimai said violation on human rights will persist unless a concerted effort to confront the issue is made.

The retired IAS officer stated this during the international Human Rights Day observance held today at Human Rights Initiatives (HRI) office, Wangkhei Thangapat Mapal, Palace Compound, Imphal East.

Nimai who attended as the chief guest said ‘right to life’ is the most important of all the Human Rights in today’s society.

By ‘right to life’ we mean everyone should have access to basic amenities like good road system, health care systems, education, adequate essential commodities etc. But, people have often overlooked the most important aspect of human rights, he contended.

Although, politicians usually talked about the value of life but at the end of the day it is nothing but a lip service, he opined.

People have to take the initiative on their own against the violation of human rights, he added.

Nimai further said violation of human rights has been on the rise not only in the state but in every corner of the world and will never end.

Acting chairman, Human Rights Initiative (HRI), Yumnam Ratankumar also attended the observation as president and the observation was jointly organized by HRI and Families of the Involuntarily Disappeared Association, Manipur (FIDAM).
