New Delhi: The discussion on Communal Violence Bill has been deferred till Tuesday, said sources on Monday. The discussion was slated for Monday after Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi's outburst in Lok Sabha over the rising incidents of communal violence on Monday.
Rahul Gandhi, who stormed the well in the Lok Sabha, had said Opposition was not being allowed to speak in Parliament and "it is completely one-sided, partiality", comments seen as raising questions on the Speaker.
"There is a mood in Parliament that only one man's voice counts for anything in this country.... The Speaker, I mean.... It is completely one-sided, partiality. That's what we are raising," he had said.
Ahead of the discussion on communal riots in the country, Rahul Gandhi has stepped up the attack on the BJP saying that the party deliberately engineered communal tension in Uttar Pradesh.
He said, "Communal conflict is being artificially and deliberately engineered in our country, especially in Uttar Pradesh. This is a deliberate strategy to divide the poor of this country and put brother against brother, to prevent people from uniting to fight the true enemy - inequality, poverty and lack of opportunity."
