New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has denied that Anti-communal violence bill is aimed at getting political mileage for Congress party .
Manmohan said that this bill will help control aberrations that occur during communal outbreaks.
"It is not a vote-catching gimmick. I think, in the last five or six years we have been grappling with the problems of communal riots in some or the other part of the country," Manmohan Singh said during an interactive session at a conclave of HT group while replying to a question on the government's proposal to introduce the bill.
"Our effort has been to create an environment where officials would have the responsibility to look after the law and order situation as effectively as is humanly possible," he said.
