The setting up a high-powered inquiry commission of at least three retired judges of the Supreme Court to examine all investigations in all bomb blast and terrorist attack cases, including cases of encounters, in the last few years.

Strengthening of the human rights commissions at the national and state levels by giving them adequate powers, providing them with their own dedicated police machinery and by broadbasing and making transparent the selection of their members. This will go a long way in being a deterrent against human rights abuse by the government of the day and the state security and police apparatus under its control.

Whoever balks will sound phony.
