Congress: Proposed Communal Violence Bill is comprehensive

Congress is happy to state that Communal Violence Bill is singularly beneficial piece of legislation meant to address pernicious evil of communal violence seriously. The proposed bill has roughly 60 clauses. First pernicious rumour mongering by the BJP – out of the 60 clauses, barring one clause, all clauses give power to the State government to notify to declare a disturbed area to take action, so it is purely a power given to the state government. One out of these 60 clauses, clause 55 gives power to the central government but hatched in by three cumulative conditions – First, the Central government will bring to the attention of the State government the communally sensitive situation prevailing in that state. Second, it will wait for the state government to act on that intimation information. Third, if despite persistent advisory, the state government fails to act, then the central government gets powers to act.
