Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Satyapal Singh on Friday hit out at the opposition over their resistance against The Protection of Human Rights (Amendment) Bill, 2019, saying that Indian culture never talked about human rights, rather it emphasized on developing good human character.

Participating in a debate over the Bill, which was passed with a voice vote in the Lower House later, Singh, the former Police Commissioner of Mumbai, said: "Humans are special manufacturing of nature. We think that we are the children of Indian sages. I don't want to hurt the sentiments of those who think that they are the children of monkeys.
