The Vice President concluded his speech by saying, ‘Rather than engaging in the high decibel sensationalisation of other news, media must take the issues of human rights violations in top gear and as the leading news,’ calling the protection of human rights a common responsibility.
Additionally, Dhankhar related some personal anecdotes. He said, While highlighting the achievements of the present admin in the banking sector, ‘When I became a lawyer I needed a library. Rs 6,000 loan was given to me by a bank that changed my professional trajectory. I will always be grateful to the man who gave me Rs 6000 loan in 1978 without security.’
He also talked about the importance of providing LPG connections, which he called a massive step toward advancing the human rights of women and numerous households nationwide. Dhankhar said that one of the most prized abilities he had when he first became an MP in 1989 was the capacity to provide 50 LPG connections annually, for which there used to be lines of people comparing it to the 200 million gas connections provided through the PM Ujwala Yojana.
‘Neutrality helps the tormentor not the tormented. We must interfere. Poor and vulnerable are easy victims of malice, scams,’ Dhankhar said.
