Mangalore, July 5: The anti-communal violence bill drafted by Sonia Gandhi's National Advisory Council (NAC) has come under attack by the members of Hindu Janajagruthi Samithi who staged a demonstration in front of Deputy Commissioner's Office here on Tuesday, dubbing the bill as 'anti-Hindu'

Addressing the protesters, Lakshmeesha Gabladka, Vice President, Federation of Temples and Religious Institutions said the draft of 'Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence Bill, 2011' is aimed to curb the rights of majority Hindus in 'their own country'

Flaying at Congress led UPA government, Mr Gabladka said that the 'double standard' government wanted to exploit the Hindus in unpatriotic ways, adding that the bill has full of 'flaws and ambiguities' which will enable to collectively harass Hindus in the name of checking communal violence.

He said according to one of Articles in the bill, if a Muslim woman is subjected to rape by Hindus, she should be compensate at the sum of Rs 3 lakh, however, if the Hindu woman raped by minorities would get only Rs 30,000. “Where the so called feminists like Gowri Lankesh and Jayamala have gone this time?” he asked.

He said the bill is not applicable when Christians and Muslims fight each other; it is only to curtail the freedom of speech and expression of Hindus.

He said the bill will also tighten the screws of Police and Army in such a way that they will be compelled to take sides with the minorities even when they (minorities) are the criminals. It enables minorities to file complaint against police and army, he said.

He also threatened a nationwide “revolution” if government enacts this bill as law. “It is inevitable to revolt against government as well as bill since they only prepared this situation. Our generation-next should not blame us for not revolting against the bill” he said.

“We will strengthen the people to fight against this bill and make awareness about the draconian effect on the majority if the bill becomes law,” he said.

The protesters shouted slogans against Sonia Gandhi, UPA government and against the anti-communal violence Bill.

Anantha Kamath, Jagadish Shetty, Ramananda Gowda, Ramesh Nayak and others were among the protesters.

Jan 14: A day after it moved the Supreme Court against the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the Kerala government on Tuesday said it would continue its fight against the legislation as it "destroys" the secularism and democracy in the country.

The CPI(M)-led government had on Monday moved the apex court challenging the CAA and sought to declare it as 'ultra vires' of the Constitution. State Industries Minister E P Jayarajan told reporters here that the state has moved the apex court and will explore all options to fight the Act.

"The state government will to go to any extent and continue its fight against CAA. This Act destroys democracy in the country. This will only help in implementing the RSS agenda, to drive the nation through a fascist regime, and destroying the secularism and democracy in the country. The RSS and the Sangh Parivar cannot implement this law just by using muscle power," Jayarajan said.

Tourism Minister Kadakampally Surendran tweeted that the state became the first in the country to approach the top court against the Act. "Kerala government files lawsuit against the unconstitutional CAA. Kerala becomes the first state in the country to go to the Supreme Court against CAA.

"Kerala leads the way," he said in the tweet. In a suit filed in the apex court, the Kerala government has sought to declare that the CAA 2019 was "violative" of Article 14 (Equality before law), 21 (Protection of life and personal liberty) and 25 (Freedom of conscience and free profession, practice, and propagation of religion) of the Constitution.

It also claimed that the law was violative of the basic principle of secularism enshrined in it. The state Assembly had on December 31, 2019, passed a unanimous resolution against the CAA and became the first state to do it.
