Selection process of NHRC chief fundamentally flawed, says Rahul
The New Indian Express Kannur|December 25, 2024
A day after retired Supreme Court Justice V Ramasubramanian was appointed as chairperson of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday stated that the selection process adopted by the committee was fundamentally flawed.

They termed it as a predetermined exercise that ignored the established tradition of mutual consultation and consensus.

Kharge and Gandhi, members of the high-powered committee led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to select the NHRC chairperson, attended the committee meeting on December 18. In a dissent note, they argued that considering the merit and the need for inclusivity required for the chair, they proposed the names of Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman and Justice Kuttiyil Mathew Joseph for the position of chairperson.
