New Delhi: The PM candidate of Bharatiya Janata Party and CM of Gujarat Narendra Modi had opposed the communal violence bill on Thursday and said it as “ill-conceived, poorly drafted and recipe of disaster.”
It is also known that this bill had already opposed by the Chief Ministers of Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Odisha. Now Modi had twitted on social networking site Twitter to express his oppose against the communal violence bill.
The communal violence bill which had been presented by Congress, aims on protecting minorities from targeted attacks. The bill proposes to impose duties on the Centre and state governments and their officers to exercise their powers in an impartial and non-discriminatory manner to prevent and control targeted violence, including mass violence against religious or linguistic minorities, SCs and STs.
Modi said that “political considerations and vote bank politics rather than genuine concern are guiding it” and claimed it as “suspicious”.
Modi had Twitted, “Communal violence bill is in clear violation of India’s federal structure. Centre is busy forming laws on matters that are in the State List.”
Modi also questioned, “If Legislation has to be implemented by the states, should it not be legislated by the States?”
Modi said that if implemented, the communal violence bill would fragment society, increase violence and will have results opposite of the stated objective.
He also twitted, “Urged PM to seek wider consultation with the states and various stakeholders of the Bill before proceeding any further on a bill like this.”
