Uncaring to core

The vacillating Indian political class has once again proved its incompetence to stem the growing tide of communal frenzy in the nation. The UPA government-sponsored Communal Violence (Prevention, Control & Rehabilitation of Victims) Bill, 2005 is a half baked, hurriedly draft ed bill and is drawing flak from all quarters. Calling the bill a “dangerous piece of legislation”, eminent jurists, civil society activists, academics & legal experts have urged the government to begin the process of drafting the bill afresh. In a joint statement issued at the end of recently concluded “National Consultation” on the subject, the luminaries pointed out that the proposed draft will “strengthen the shield of protection enjoyed by the political leaders for their acts of omission and commission in these crimes. It is a Bill, which conceives of communal violence as nothing but a ‘one time’ event, rather than as a long-term politically motivated process and seeks to prevent it only by giving greater powers to state governments”.
