The opening session of the conference inaugurated by Union home minister Amit Shah was also attended by NHRC chairperson justice Arun Mishra, Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts board of trustee member Ram Bahadur Rai, commission members justice MM Kumar, Dr DM Mule and Rajiv Jain and several legal experts.
