New Delhi:
The BJP has labelled the draft of the 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 propaganda and targeted violence.
In an article put on the party's website, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley criticised the bill.
"It was wrong to presume that the majority community was behind communal trouble and that no member of the majority community can ever be a victim," wrote Jaitley.
He also stated that this law makes only members of the majority community culpable.
