Johannesburg, South Africa — The Hindu Maha Sabha has slammed the CRL Rights Commission for establishing a Section 22 committee without consulting key religious stakeholders, demanding reforms to ensure credible inter-faith engagement.
The Sabha argues that the commission’s move undermines the significance of involving religious communities in such decisions, calling for a more inclusive process that guarantees the voices of all stakeholders are heard. The organisation is pushing for a restructuring that would lead to a more balanced representation and input in future decisions.
The CRL Rights Commission has not yet responded to requests for comment on the matter. However, the Sabha’s statement underscores the ongoing tensions between the commission and religious groups over perceived inclusivity issues within the commission’s operations.
The Sabha’s call for reforms could potentially pave the way for increased dialogue and collaboration between the commission and religious stakeholders, aiming to foster a more harmonious coexistence in South Africa.
