"We feel that the Communal Violence Bill is a dangerous Bill as it harms the federal structure of the Constitution. It allows the Centre to hold all the powers. Moreover, it does not consider anybody a citizen and treats a person only as one belonging to either a majority or a minority," Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj told reporters.
Her Rajya Sabha counterpart Arun Jaitley and Chief Ministers of three BJP-ruled states -- Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank (Uttarakhand), Sadanand Gowda (Karnataka) and Raman Singh (Chhattisgarh) -- echoed these sentiments at the NIC meeting.
The BJP made it clear that the Bill in its present form, which has been drafted by UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi-led National Advisory Council, should not come to Parliament.
"You will write off a person as a criminal, just because he or she is born in a majority community and you will presume that a person would be a victim only because you are born in a minority community. This bill is very dangerous," Swaraj said.
The main opposition insisted that if passed, this legislation will encourage communal tension instead of reducing it, as it seeks to divide the country into majority and minority communities.
"The draft bill presumes that the majority community is unjust, and the minority community is the victim. But in our country, various sections of community are in a minority in one state and a majority in another state. The provisions of the Bill will go against the majority community in various states," Swaraj said.

Congress is to save their face from the problem due to the correption they try to introduce a bill in the name of communal voilence to attreac other than hindus to get vote. This is tool being used by the congress and other regional parties to get vote. I stayed in Yemen, Srilanka,Gulf and now in Africa. Every local government is pro to their local people and they ensure that the people from other countries are not been affected what ever the religion they belongs. But when ever congress bring any bill related to the common people, they ensure that muslim are more beneifitted than the hindus particularly forwad people. Now time has come to introduce common civil law and the reservation should be based on economically poor and not on caste or religion, to get good quality of future executies, but not at the cost of the standards being follwed to so on.
I want to ask where there is communial voilance now a days? India is not the India of the 1990s Congress government is dividing the country! It should not be "Communial voilance" bill.. It should be "Common Civil code" bill. Lets address our burning issues like poverty, illitracy, votebank politics and move ahead ! Minorities were always safe in India !
Why BJP talking majority community / minority community. Let see what are the things with this bill. BJP is the biggest party. Give good comments / suggestions. After that you can oppose this bill. Always critisize the government not good. After that people will not vote for you party.
Congress is doing divide and rule what it has learnt from British.
Unless the present Govt led by a corrupt & draconian party having foreign elements in command, is thrown out immediately, there will be many examples of such dangerous actions. There is not a single minister in the ruling party who is working for the nation of 1.2 billion people.

I would like to know the opinion of Mr. F. Abdulla, Prakash Badal and Maya Wati?
Shikhandi PM has become a pawn at the hand of Mafiaso. Shame on him for bringing such a law where majority will be treated as crimninals wothout any faults of their own. Jago india Jago!! throw this govt sooner before they destroy India's pride.
It was expected that BJP will oppose this Bill. Why not they are behind all communal violence and want to protect Modi. However this bill is not against hindu or in favour of muslims. It is against violence against minority or SC/ST. Minority doese not mean muslim it covers jain, budhist,sikhs, parsis,even hindus in many states of India like Punjab,J&K, Manipur etc
Everyone should be protected if majority people are only considered guilty and the not the minority in every case .. how can peace prevail ..This type of bill is the necessity of the time but not like this.. We the people of minority are the victims mostly of communal violence this should also be considered ... no one should be biased.
It is most unfortunate that Hindus who have been rendered refugees in their own country as happened in Kashmir and Assam. Hinduism is under threat from Congress Party which is headed by a foreigner
Who came up with this s@#tty bill? People who came up with this bill should be tried for treason. Please stop dividing the country, we have enough divisions to last for several generations.
