Title : Madam Speaker made a reference on the occasion of Human Rights Day.
MADAM SPEAKER: Hon. Members, today is the Human Rights Day. It was on 10th December, 1948 that the United Nations General Assembly adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The day reminds us of our commitment towards securing social, economic and cultural as well as civil and political rights for all mankind, in general and our citizens, in particular. These holy objectives find a prominent place in the Preamble of our Constitution and the country has taken several initiatives to attain them.
Let us, on this occasion, rededicate ourselves to fully achieving these objectives as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
MADAM SPEAKER: Now, let us go to the Question Hour.
