India hits back at UN  human rights chief after remark on NGOs

India on Tuesday strongly reacted to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet's concern over restrictions on NGOs and arrest of activists, saying that violations of law cannot be condoned

India on Tuesday strongly reacted to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet's concern over restrictions on NGOs and arrest of activists. New Delhi said that violations of law cannot be condoned under the pretext of human rights and a more informed view of the matter was expected of the UN body. External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Anurag Srivastava also asserted that India was a democratic polity based on the rule of law and an independent judiciary. Earlier, Bachelet expressed concern over the restrictions on foreign funding for the NGOs and the arrest of activists in the country.

New Delhi/Geneva, PTI: India on Tuesday strongly reacted to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet's concern over restrictions on NGOs and arrest of activists. New Delhi said that violations of law cannot be condoned under the pretext of human rights and a more informed view of the matter was expected of the UN body.
External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Anurag Srivastava also asserted that India was a democratic polity based on the rule of law and an independent judiciary.
"We have seen some comments by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on an issue relating to the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA). India is a democratic polity based on the rule of law and an independent judiciary.
"The framing of laws is obviously a sovereign prerogative. Violations of law, however, cannot be condoned under the pretext of human rights. A more informed view of the matter was expected of a UN body," Srivastava said.
Earlier, Bachelet expressed concern over the restrictions on foreign funding for the NGOs and the arrest of activists in the country.
She appealed to the Indian Government to "safeguard the rights of human rights defenders and NGOs, and their ability to carry out their crucial work" on behalf of the many groups they represent.
"India has long had a strong civil society, which has been at the forefront of groundbreaking human rights advocacy within the country and globally," she said in a statement.
"But I am concerned that vaguely defined laws are increasingly being used to stifle these voices," she said.
Bachelet specifically cited as "worrying" the use of the FCRA, which prohibits the receipt of foreign funds "for any activities prejudicial to the public interest." As per the amended FCRA law, furnishing of Aadhaar numbers by office-bearers of NGOs has become mandatory for registration. The Act also provides for reduction in administrative expenses of any NGO receiving foreign funding, from 50 per cent to 20 per cent of annual funds to ensure spending on their main objectives.
The government has maintained that the legislation was not against any NGO and was an effort to maintain transparency

'No locus standi to comment: India on China's border bridge criticism

China has no locus standi to comment on India's internal matters, New Delhi responded after Beijing reacted sharply to the opening of 44 new bridges near the borders. Opposing all infrastructure development in the region, China had reiterated&nbsp;that "Ladakh Union Territory was&nbsp;"illegally set up by India and that the border infrastructure development was "the root cause for the tension between the two sides". In response, India&rsquo;s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Anurag Srivastava stressed &lsquo;the Union Territories of Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir are and will always&nbsp;remain an integral part of India&rsquo;. Srivastava also said that peace and tranquility will only return by &lsquo;scrupulously following the agreement reached.&rsquo;
