DK Cong to counter RSS campaign against anti-communal violence bill

December 5, 2011

Mangalore, December 5: Dakshina Kannada District Congress Committee has decided to counter the propaganda launched by the RSS-affiliated organisations against the Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence (Access to Justice and Reparations) Bill 2011.

District Congress chief B Ramanath Rai told media persons on Monday that DCC would be organising taluk-level awareness programmes on the necessity to pass the Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence (Access to Justice and Reparations) Bill proposed by union government.

The development comes in the wake of recent Hindu Hitarakshana Vedike Conference against anti-communal violence bill, in which several provisions of the Bill were allegedly misquoted by the hardline speakers.

Mr Rai said, DCC has understood the necessity of holding such a campaign to expose the lies of Sangh Parivar leaders, who according to him, are misleading people by misinterpreting the Bill.

He said that the proposed Bill must pass in the parliament as it is the most powerful tool to prevent blood shed in the country. “It will also address the problems of linguistic minorities”, he added.

Brushing aside the allegation made by BJP that the Bill is another tool for Congress to appease the minorities, he said that the saffron party was trying encash the Hindu vote bank by inciting religious sentiments.

Mr Rai also lashed out at RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat for his recent derogatory remarks against Congress supremo Sonia Gandhi and Union Minister M Veerappa Moily.
