Social worker Anna Hazare's struggle against corruption and scams was applauded by one and all. Muslims also supported the cause as every citizen has been suffocating with the corrosive decease. However, Muslims hope Anna could raise his voice about another poison communalism. Quite often this disease is internal but at times it comes from outside. Internally, our compatriots behave with discrimination and treats Muslims brethren suspicious.
Victim of Discrimination
The British for their vested interests had sowed the seeds of hatred and division between Hindus and Muslims which got deep rooted and is still prevalent. Being Muslim, they do not get employment in government and private sectors; they don't get flats in housing societies. When four men are talking and fifth man as Muslim come, they stop talking. Muslims become the victim of discrimination at all levels, as a result of which they feel suffocated.
Jawaharlal Nehru was the last secular prime minister who left most of the jobs incomplete. Communalism is a big problem, it devastates lives and properties, but the same frenzy subsides after a few days. The dream of minority and majority living together in consonance must come true.
Salient Feature
Showing concern on this sensitive issue, Congress President Sonia Gandhi has come out to move the communal and targeted the violence bill. The object of this bill is to provide protections to religious and lingual minorities, backward classes and tribal people. A National Authority will come to existence through the bill. The salient feature of the bill is the provisions of five-year imprisonment to police officers who fail to curb communal violence. The bill provides compensations of Rs.1.5 million to the next of kin of the deceased.
Harsh Mander, member of National Advisory Council, says that like the Right To Information Act, government officials will be accountable for the lapse. The Communal Violence Bill has been hanging since 2005. After the formation of the National Advisory Council, all aspects of the bill were discussed. Now the text of the bill will be presented before the prime minister. It will be a big day when Sonia Gandhi's vision will come to its practical shape and will emancipate the country from this execrable enormity.
