    Hundreds gather at Parliament street to celebrate Human Rights Day

    Hundreds of people from across the country, including prominent activists like Medha Patkar and Shabnam Hashmi, gathered at Parliament Street in central Delhi to celebrate the International Human Rights Day (HRD) today. Members of social movements, the civil society, representatives of Narmada Bachao Andolan, tribals from the Nilgiris and several others from different areas joined the activists. HRD is celebrated on December 10 worldwide.

    People have gathered to observe Jashn-e-Samvidhan, says Patkar

    The people have gathered to observe Jashn-e-Samvidhan, a celebration of dissent and resistance. It aims to celebrate the spirit of the Constitution, the struggles of people and reassert the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, said Patkar. "This celebration is a message that if our rights are not given then such a protest would be ignited that it would overthrow the government," she said.

    Need to celebrate resistance especially in these times: Hashmi

    The participants sang patriotic songs and chanted slogans in support of the freedom of speech. Shabnam Hashmi said there is a need to celebrate resistance, especially at a time when the voice of the poor and the needy is being curbed.
