Western standards of human rights will not work in India as the country must focus on people killed by extremists in Kashmir and elsewhere, said Union Home Minister Amit Shah at the foundation day of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).

Shah called the militants and Maoists the biggest violators of human rights while asserting to look at these issues with an Indian outlook as it does on the brutality carried out by the police, reports said.

Shah said that those having no access to toilet and safe methods of cooking is a human rights issue. He said that women in the country are facing severe issues as they have been deprived of these rights.

In the same breath, the Home minister underlined the steps initiated by the Narendra Modi-led government to provide basic rights to the people.

Shah, who was the chief guest at the 26th foundation of the NRHC, emphasized that all the people in the country will be provided human rights and there will not be any violation as the Modi 2.0 government is leading India towards a bright future.

Praising the country for its inbuilt framework of human rights, the Union minister said that the rich family values ensured the safety of children and women.
