Communal violence bill draconian: Hindu leader

Terming the proposed bill as “one-sided”,he said,”We will create awareness to show that it will break communal harmony…Under the proposed law,one is treated as a criminal till he proves himself innocent…Those who framed the bill are not part of the government and neither is there a single MP in the panel which drafted it.”

All Hindu religious heads feel that the bill will uproot religion,heritage and culture,he said.

Bhagwat had yesterday targeted the National Advisory Council,questioning its constitutional standing and criticising the draft communal violence bill a “distorted ideology which will destroy the spirit of the Constitution”.
