The NHRC Tuesday condemned the killing of 40 CRPF personnel in the Pulwama attack.
The rights panel in a statement said, “It is expected that the state will take note of the supreme sacrifice made by the personnel of CRPF in maintaining the rule of law and creating an environment of peace and security in the country, and the aggrieved families would be suitably compensated.”
The statement said the commission firmly believes that acts of violence are an “anti-thesis” to the struggle for protection of human rights.”The National Human Rights Commission is disturbed over the killing of more than 40 CRPF personnel in an attack on their convoy near Awantipora on the Srinagar-Jammu highway… And condemns it,” it added.
A loss of life of any innocent person, whether in force or a civilian, is a matter of violation of human rights, it said.
