Mangalore, Sep 16: "Human Rights are undergoing a huge turmoil in the current scenario. The ordinary man is pushed out and evicted from their homes. The present government supports the development of capitalists and uses its police power to curtail the voice of people who oppose its action," said Dr V Suresh national secretary of People’s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL).

He was addressing the press meet held here on Sunday September 15.

He also continued and said “Laws which are against human rights and which prevailed during the British regime are being practiced today. In the present system the government favors the capitalists, rich class and ignores the common man. Hence people should raise their voice against the anti-human laws.  In a contemporary scenario people who their voice against the government have been booked under sedition laws. Hence the People’s Union for Civil Liberties forum have setup a fact finding committee in the recent incident of Muzaffarnagar violence in which more than 50 people were killed. In the forth coming elections the forum has also insisted to include the Human rights in their Agenda." 

PUCL secretary Kavitha Srivastava said “Presently the UPA government has introduced the Food Security Bill have undermined entitlement ensured by the Supreme Court. The food security bill passed by UPA cannot be termed as Food Security Bill, it is minimalist and equivalent to Mid Day Meals because the 5 kg food grains provided will be insufficient and will not provide adequate nutrition. The Government has neglected farmers without providing incentives to them."

On this occasion, national president of PUCL professor Sinha, Binay Sen national vice president, Ravi Kiran Jain national vice president were present on this occasion.
