Parliament is set to vote tomorrow on a private member's bill, tabled by Liberal Democrat MP Don Foster, which would allow league clubs to construct safe terraced areas at their stadiums and has already been backed by various supporter liason groups.
All-seater stadia was introduced in the top two tiers of English football after on the advice of the Taylor Report, drawn up a year after 96 Reds fans were killed at Sheffield Wednesday's ground before their FA Cup semi-final with Nottingham Forest on April 15 1989.
Dalglish was the Liverpool manager at the time and believes that the proposed legislation is disrespectful to the victims of Hillsborough, especially as their bereaved families are still campaigning for justice for their loved ones 21 years since the tragedy.
He said: "To me, I think safe standing is a bit of a contradiction in terms. It might be safe enough if you're there alone but unless it's managed and looked after properly, then I don't see how it could be safe.
"The football fans at Hillsborough in '89 put their trust in the authorities to look after them, to make sure that standing was safe.
"People are going through the process at the moment to get the justice that they've waited so long for and hugely deserve. I think it's really a bit insensitive for someone to put this forward.
"It's alright standing there if there's only one or two of you in a 30,000 crowd but when you start to get people involved and if it's not handled properly, it will always be a problem.
"I don't think it's a coincidence also that there's been less problems with ground since they've been made all-seater. For me, I can't understand the logic in it. And I think it's a huge insult to the people who lost loved ones at Hillsborough and are fighting for justice.
"If they want to have a discussion about it then put it back until they get a ruling on their outstanding legal cases that are going on at the moment."
Last week Liverpool fans reacted angrily after American journalist Alex Beam alleged that Hillsborough was the result of a 'soccer riot'. A club spokesman also condemned the comments in conjunction with the Hillsborough Family Support Group."
