These are the reasons cited by a global alliance of human rights organisations in deferring, for the second time in nearly a quarter century, the accreditation of India’s National Human Rights Commission, for its highest rating.

In which the new narrative is manipulating religious texts to normalise, justify and legitimise mob lynching, vigilante justice, summary trials, kangaroo courts. And we were once hyper ventilating about the Hudood Ordinance!! #HyderabadEncounter #hyderabadpolice #HumanRights
