05 Feb 2014 Evaluate

Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley on Wednesday attacked the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government on the Prevention of Communal Violence Bill, saying it infringes on the states' rights.

Arun Jaitley said that the Communal Violence Bill is beyond legislative competence. Law and order is a state problem, not a Centre subject. Union Law Minister Kapil Sibal said that the bill will not violate the federal structure. It will not encroach upon the rights of the state. No positon in the bill will interfere with the law and order situation.
