No hate speech: NHRC

Kathmandu, September 7 National Human Rights Commission on Monday issued a press release urging the protesting parties and outfits not to make speeches that could incite communal enmity. NHRC said its attention had been drawn to a release issued by United Democratic Madhesi Front and Muslim Struggle Committee on September 3 wherein they had urged the public to socially boycott police personnel and not to rent out rooms to them. NHRC said the release was objectionable from the human rights point of view as it would deny citizens their right to housing. The human rights body has urged the political parties and all sides concerned not to deliver any hate speech or do something that could have adverse impact on communal harmony.
