Need for proportionate use of force, but no place for fake encounters: NHRC chief
The topic for the annual debate competition for the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), organised by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Tuesday, “are human rights a stumbling block in fighting evils like terrorism and Naxalism” succeeded in setting off a dialogue, with many activists and politicians questioning the choice of topic itself.
The competition which, according to an official, has been going for the past 25 years, is co-hosted with one CAPF every year, but the topic of discussion is finalised by the NHRC. This year, the debate was co-hosted by the NHRC and the Assam Rifles, whose team won the “best team rolling trophy” after winning the final round, an NHRC statement said.
