Welcoming the Uttar Pradesh Law Commission-drafted Bill against lynching, BSP supremo Mayawati on Saturday pitched for a stringent, pan-India legislation to arrest the spread of this \u201cdreadful disease\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement issued by the Bahujan Samaj Party here, Mayawati said, \u201cMob lynching has emerged as a dreadful disease across the country, and the loss of lives in it is a matter of serious concern.\u201d \u201cIn this regard, there is a strong need for a stringent countrywide law, but the Centre\u2019s approach towards it is lackadaisical,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She welcomed the submission of a draft Bill by the UP Law Commission in this regard, which recommended up to life imprisonment for the crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking cognisance of incidents of mob lynching, including those by cow vigilantes, the Uttar Pradesh Law Commission on Wednesday submitted to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath the draft Bill recommending up to life imprisonment for the crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis disease is a gift of the intention and policy of the governments of not allowing to establish the rule of law. As a result, not only the Dalits, tribals or the religious minorities, but even the people from all sections of the society and police are also becoming a victim to it,\u201d Mayawati said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn this situation, the submission of a draft Bill by the UP Law Commission, recommending up to life imprisonment for the crime is welcoming,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
