Agartala, Sep 11, 2011 : Chief Minister Manik Sarkar strongly opposed the proposed ‘Communal violence bill-2011’, terming it an ‘infringement’ on the rights of the states.
Chief Minister in his address at the 15th National Integration Council (NIC) meeting at New Delhi on Saturday said ‘The proposed bill would be an infringement on the rights of the states and is bound to seriously impair the federal spirit enshrined in the constitution of India.
‘The existing legal framework is adequate to deal with all kinds of law and order situations including the communal disturbances,’ said Sarkar.
The bill, drafted by the National Advisory Council, seeks to protect ‘groups’ from communal violence and harm, describing ‘religious and linguistic minority, in any state in the Union of India, or Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes’ as victims.
Sarkar said that the fundamentalist organizations should be firmly dealt with and should not be allowed to create any communal disturbances in the country.
‘An appropriate development strategy can play a crucial role in promoting national integration,’ he said adding that all the national and regional political parties should launch an all out ideological and political campaign to promote national unity and integration.
Meanwhile, BJP and some other chief ministers also terming the proposed Communal Violence Bill as “dangerous”.
The BJP opposed the legislation, saying it presumes that the majority community is always responsible for such riots.
