Regarding Mob Lynching Incidents In Different Parts Of The Country. on 19 July, 2018
Sixteenth Loksabha an> Title: Regarding mob lynching incidents in different parts of the country.
SHRI K.C. VENUGOPAL (ALAPPUZHA): Madam Speaker, I thank you very much for giving me an opportunity to express the serious situation throughout the country regarding the attack on freedom speech and mob lynching incidents happening throughout the country.
Our Constitution and the rule of law grants equal rights to every citizen to express his opinion by the physical attack against the political opponents and persons who have a different view has become the order of the day nowadays. Dialoguers and discussions form the crux of the democratic society. People belonging to the Ruling Parry are trying to take law into their hands and silence the opposite views. There are a lot of such happenings in the country. Dialogue and discussions are healthy for the democratic country. But what is happening now? There are attacks against people. They are not sparing even the Treasury Benches. Respected Sushma Swaraj was amusedly told in the social media by the people belonging to the same ideology for performing her constitutional duty. We have difference of opinion with Shrimati Sushma Swaraj and her ideology but the happenings against her is also condemnable. The hon. Prime Minister is also keeping silent on these things.
Madam Speaker, I am pointing out a very serious issue. I would request the Government to secure the democratic environment in the country. About two or three days ago, Swami Agnivesh had been brutally attacked in Jharkhand. What has he done in Jharkhand? The Minister of Jharkhand himself is justifying the attack. Nobody has been taken into custody and no case has been registered. Is this the rule of law? Targeting people with different views has become a daily affair. Why is this happening? The Minister from the Government is supporting it. I can say that the hon. Minister of State of Finance, Shri Jayant Sinha, has garlanded the accused persons. The Minister himself has done it. Then how can you ensure law and order in the country? … (Interruptions) Madam, this is a very important issue. … (Interruptions)
Madam, you know that the Missionary of Charity of Mother Teresa is one of the important organisations. That organisation has also been targeted by the Union Government. I want the response of the Home Minister. Hon. Supreme Court has given a direction to the Government to come up with a new law.

HON. SPEAKER: Do you want to complete, Shri Venugopal? If so, you please complete.यहाँपरपूराहिन्दुस्ताननहींलानाहै।
SHRI K.C. VENUGOPAL (ALAPPUZHA): The attitude of the Government is also worsening the situation in the country. What has happened with Missionaries of Charity. The Government is misusing its agencies for targeting people who have different views. Therefore, hon. Supreme Court has intervened and given a direction to create a new law.
Therefore, I urge upon the Government to make a law to stop mob lynching and also advise the Minister not to garland the accused people. This is my demand.
