West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday claimed that democracy was being bulldozed and voices muzzled in the country, and asserted that her government was committed to upholding human rights.

Taking to Twitter, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, on the occasion of Human Rights Day, said her government has set up 19 human rights courts over the last nine-and-a-half years. 

“Today is HumanRightsDay. Nowadays, there is a big trend to bulldoze democracy, crush fundamental rights, and muzzle the voice of the people. Our government is committed to upholding human rights,” she tweeted.

Mr Banerjee, who is also the chief of Trinamool Congress, said that human rights commission was set up in West Bengal in 1995 following her repeated protests and movements.
