VHP opposes proposed anti-violence Bill

Dehradun, November 30
General secretary (organisation) of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) Dinesh said today that the proposed Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence Bill-2011 was anti-Hindu and aimed at appeasing the minority communities.

He said: “The Bill holds Hindus solely responsible for riots in the country.”

Dinesh further said the VHP would soon launch an awareness campaign across the country to make the public aware of the disastrous consequences of the Bill.

He further said: “The proposed Bill also gives right to the Centre to dismiss any state government without assigning any reason in the name of internal peace, which is in itself autocratic.”

Dinesh said the VHP would oppose the proposed Bill as those behind the preparation of its draft were biased.
