New Delhi : The NHRC on May 2, 2019, condemned the killing of 15 police personnel and a civilian driver by the Naxals in Gadchiroli, Maharashtra, on May 1, 2019.

“ The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) condemns the killing of 15 Maharashtra  police personnel and a civilian driver in the Left Wing Extremism affected Kurkheda Tehsil of Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra on May 1, 2019. The Commission believes that such attacks against security personnel on duty should be stopped, which are a grave violation of human rights. The country’s strong democratic values and institutions provide enough space to people with divergent views to function through non-violent means and to endear themselves to the mainstream of social, cultural and political life,” the NHRC said in a statement.

“Any struggle renders itself meaningless, the moment it turns violent, leading to grave violation of human rights. The supreme sacrifice made by all those martyred in this dastardly and cowardly attack would not go in vain and the aggrieved families should be suitably compensated,” the NHRC said.
