New Delhi, Sep 10: The proposed Communal Violence Bill today ran into trouble with NDA-ruled states and Congress ally Trinamool Congress opposing it as "dangerous" legislation and arguing that it would hurt the federal structure of the country.
At a meeting of National Integration Council (NIC) where the issue was on the agenda, NDA and Chief Ministers of the states ruled by it – Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar and Punjab – expressed opposition to the draft legislation in its current form.
Terming the proposed Communal Violence Bill as "dangerous", the BJP today opposed the legislation at the National Integration Council meeting here, saying it presumes that the majority community is always responsible for such riots.
