New Delhi: Arun Jaitley, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, has accused central government of polarizing the voters on communal lines ahead of 2014 Lok Sabha elections by circulating to states the revised draft of a bill on preventing communal violence.
"It appears that ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, in order to polarize the country on communal lines, the ministry of home affairs has again written a letter to the state governments enclosing therewith revised draft of the bill," Jaitley wrote on his blog.
He said there hasn't so far been adequate consultation with the stakeholders on Prevention of Communal Violence (Access to Justice and Reparations) Bill, which was first submitted in 2011 by the National Advisory Council headed by United Progressive Alliance (UPA) chairperson Sonia Gandhi.
