Communal Violence Bill defers in Rajya Sabha

After huge chaos and Opposition protest over the Prevention of Communal Violence Bill, the Rajya Sabha deputy Chairman PJ Kurien has finally deferred it.

 “Following Opposition by members in the House, I defer the bill,” Kurien said.

 “We have a provision in the Bill which makes the state’s permission necessary for the Centre to intervene when it comes to a state subject,” Kapil Sibal said in the house.

 The Leader of Opposition Arun Jaitley has opposed the Communal Violence Bill and said it will interfere federal structure of India.

 “Law and order, public order and service of the state are all state subjects. The Central parliament doesn’t have the legislative competence to pass such a Bill. It is detrimental to the federal structure of our country,” Jaitley said.

 CPM, SP and other opposition parties echo BJP’s objection and eventually government failed to even introduce the bill to the Rajya Sabha.
