TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Home Minister Rajnath Singh speaking in Parliament on the lynchings. The lynching of a Muslim man on the suspicion of cow smuggling in Rajasthan’s Alwar district was today raised in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
In the Lok Sabha, the Congress has said that the government is supporting lynchings. The opposition accused the government of hate politics. This is what Home Minister Rajnath said in response.
“A high-level panel has been set up to probe lynchings and if needed a law against lynchings can also be considered. We are worried about this. However, lynchings did not begin recently; the incidents of lynching have been going on since years. I have said this earlier too, the biggest mob lynching is, what happened in 1984 (the anti-Sikh riots).”
A group of men on Saturday thrashed 28-year-old Akbar to death in Alwar district on suspicion of cow smuggling. In the same district in April last year, Pehlu Khan, a cattle farmer was lynched by a mob as he rode home from a market with two cows and two calves in the back of his truck.
