PNS | New Delhi: The BJP on Thursday labelled the draft Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence Bill, 2011 as a law fraught with dangerous consequences saying the legislation would go against the federal rights of the states and hold only the majority community guilty of hate propoganda and targeted violence.
In an article put on the party’s website, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley said, “The Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence (Access to Justice and Reparations) Bill, 2011 will intrude into the domain of the state, damage the federal polity and create an imbalance in inter-community relationship.”
Jaitley maintained that the Bill seems to have been finalised by the NAC headed by Congress President Sonia Gandhi. The drafting of this Bill appears to be a handiwork of those social entrepreneurs who have learnt from the Gujarat experience of how to fix senior leaders even when they are not liable for an offence,” he said.
