Housing and Public Works Adviser Adilur Rahman Khan today said they want to build such a human rights commission that protects people from being victimized of injustice. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cThe draft of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of 2025 will truly bring up the ongoing incidents of enforced disappearance, extra-judicial killings, tortures in custody and various human rights violations. It was absent when we were victimized by injustice during the fascist government. We all were the victims of the court,\u2019 he said.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
He made the remarks while speaking at a national consultation on the draft National Human Rights Commission Ordinance, 2025, held at the InterContinental Hotel ballroom in the capital.
\u00a0
The Adviser said the initiative that was taken by the Interim Government will establish a true human rights commission. \u00a0\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cNo system had worked in Bangladesh in the past 15 and a half years. All the organizations from judiciary to human rights commission had become ineffective. The National Human Rights Commission that was established during the army supported government was decorated with political workers and it guaranteed no rights to the people,\u201d he said. \u00a0
\u00a0
The Adviser said Bangladesh has to come out from the situation with the collective efforts of all concerned.
\u00a0
\u201cWe have to do it correctly in a limited time prior to the national election as the people of Bangladesh will never be victimized of injustice after defeating the future possibilities of establishing injustice. But, it requires a collective effort,\u201d he said.
\u00a0
The Adviser reminded them that they have got \u201cNew Bangladesh\u201d in exchange for blood, saying, \u201cWe have to build various organizations in a planned way.\u201d
