A/HRC/21/10 131. On the Communal Violence Bill, the delegation stated that India was a land of diversity covering all major religions, where minorities enjoyed the highest level of protection. Sporadic acts of violence were dealt with swiftly and effectively. Being a matter of federal polity, the Central Government had to take on board views of all Indian states, some of which believed that the existing laws were adequate to address communal violence, as seen from declining incidence. 132. With regard to the prosecution of Armed Forces, it was emphasized that the Army and paramilitary forces maintained continuous vigilance to prevent human rights violations. The Army established the Human Rights Cell even before the NHRC was established. 133. India’s practices with regard to refugees was one of tolerance and understanding, and to provide hospitality and protection to those who approach it. 134.

The RTI promoted human rights by enabling any citizen to seek any information from public authorities. This information could include any document, notes and even drafts on Government records. It had not only led to effective enforcement and proper governance but was also used for accessing the courts under articles 32 or 226 of the Constitution. 136. India took serious exception to and rejected totally the intervention that stated that the judiciary lacked transparency. The judiciary had taken an incredible role with regard to enforcement of fundamental rights and had never been accused of not being transparent. The delegation acknowledged that there were aspects of delay, but emphasized that efforts were being made to address this issue. 137. The head of the delegation stated that he represented an India built on the solid foundations laid after independence, a new India, which was confident but not overconfident, a country proud of its strengths and at the same time willing to acknowledge and address weaknesses.
