The Harekrushna Mahtab Foundation on Monday organised the 32nd Mahtab Memorial Lecture on the topic "Human Rights in Indian Culture Philosophy and Arts" at the Prajatantra Prachar Samiti premises here.
Chief guest National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Chairperson Justice Arun Mishra said human rights are the gift of the nature and “we people have taken birth to preserve these”. He gave stress on the distributive justice enshrined in Articles 38 and 39 of the Indian Constitution. “We the citizens of India are blessed with the right to live a clean life that is embodied in Article 21 of the Constitution,” he said.
Presiding over the meeting, former Chief Justice of the Manipur High Court Laxmikant Mohapatra spoke about some of his personal experiences relating to the topic. At the outset, foundation chairman Bhartruhari Mahtab gave his introduction talk and felicitated the guests.
