Speaking at the Stop politics of hate' campaign organised by the district unit of the Popular Front of India here on Wednesday, he took on Prime Minister Narendra Modi led government for constant attacks on minorities across the country.

He said that the politics of hate, ultimately leads to communal violence and chaos in the country.

Shafi Bellary, secretary of the State unit of the PFI said that Dalits and minorities were at the receiving end of “majority politics” for the last two years.

Mr. Bellary said all people should accept the fact that India was a diverse multi-religious and multi-cultural country. It has a secular constitution.

The Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government had got a mere 31 per cent of votes, which meant that a large majority was against it, he said.

Even those who had voted for the NDA had done so because they were fed up of the “corruption” of the previous Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government. Hence it could not be concluded that it was a vote for the ideology espoused by the BJP, he said.

New Delhi, Feb 7: The Supreme Court on Friday issued a notice to the Central government on a plea challenging the Constitutional validity of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and effective implementation of the Assam Accord.

A bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) SA Bobde also sought Centre's response on the plea filed by Assam Social Justice Forum.

The petition sought appropriate directions for taking effective steps for the implementation of Assam Accord, 1985 in letter and spirit and for conservation and preservation of the of a distinct culture, heritage and traditions of the indigenous people of Assam.

The Assam Accord, 1985, had fixed March 24, 1971, as the cut-off date for deportation of all illegal immigrants irrespective of their religion.

The Bench also sought Centre's response on another fresh batch of pleas challenging CAA and tagged them along with other petitions pending in the matter.

One of the petitions, filed by the Association of Advocates from Maharashtra among others, sought to declare the Citizenship Amendment Act as discriminatory, arbitrary, and illegal and consequently set aside the impugned act as ultra-vires the Constitution of India.

On the other hand, over a hundred petitions have been filed in the apex court, for and against the amended citizenship law, which is facing opposition and protests across the country.

CAA grants citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians who fled religious persecution in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan and took refuge in India on or before December 31, 2014.
