Nagpur: VHP protests against communal violence Bill

Nagpur (Maharashtra): The Vishwa Hindu Parishad and its allied Sangh Parivar organisations alleged that the proposed Bill on prevention of communal violence was loaded against majority Hindu community and was just another minority appeasement measure by the UPA government.

At the sit-in (dharna) staged at Variety Square, speakers including Dilip Gupta, chief of RSS’ city unit, Subodh Acharya of the Bajrang Dal, Amol Thakre of the VHP, Bunty Kukde of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, Shakeel Patel of Rashtriya Muslim Manch and Aruna Sathe of Rashtriya Sevika Sangh spoke on the occasion. Hemant Jambhekar, vice-president of VHP Vidarbha unit presided over the function.

RSS city unit chief Dilip Gupta said that the proposed Bill which is to come up in parliament session next month, would only create wider rift between communities and bring them at loggerheads destroying peace and harmony that now exists.

The speakers said that the provisions in the Bill were based on the premise that the majority community is always the aggressor and the minority always a victim. There are several draconian clauses like extending the chargesheet period to 180 days during which suspects could be kept under custody, a separate agency to investigate and prosecute incidents of communal incidents and powers to the agency to attach property of the accused and if proven, guilty proceeds from those assets to be used for rehabilitation of riot victims.

Speakers claimed that the Bill was biased against Hindus and it was time to protest against it effectively to check the government from bringing in the legislation. They also alleged that it was part of the UPA government’s policy of appeasing minority communities. It would not be applicable in Jammu and Kashmir and to riots where communities other than Hindus are involved, they said.
