Speakers at the concluding event of the Week for Human Rights, organised by the Directorate of Human Rights, said the best way to practise optimum human rights was to condemn all kinds of physical, psychological and moral degradation.
The HRCP director, I A Rehman, said the blasphemy law was one of the most dangerous tools being used as an infringement on human rights in Pakistan and it needed to be repealed or made more particular, to avoid more disasters like the Gojra incident.
He said the state of human rights was governed by the attitude of the people, adding a society reflects the nature of laws it is governed by.
He stressed the need for more tolerance and the ability to reject violence against the downtrodden communities.
Those who spoke on the occasion included Punjab Regional Directorate of Human Rights director Arshad Mahmood Malik, Additional Inspector General Punjab Police Khalida Khurshid, Aurat Foundation director Nasreen Zahra, SAP-PK executive director Mohammad Tehseen and MPA Dr Samia Amjad.
