Key points
1. Law and Order is a state subject. If it becomes Law then the Centre would usurp the authority of States.
2. The Bill assumes that communal riots are caused by the Majority community only. Note the Indian Constitution does not define the word 'Minority'.
3. Rape is punishable under this bill if the lady belongs to a minority group. If lady is Hindu she is not covered by this bill.
4. So also A 'hate propaganda' is an offence against minority community and not otherwise.
5. No member of the minority community can be punished under this act for having committed an offence against the majority community.
6. Terrorists from the minority community shall create communal riots instead of terror strikes because they cannot be tried under this Law since assumption is only Hindus riot.
Wish the NAC and Courts spend time on convicting those responsible for Bomb Blasts in India starting with 1993 Mumbai blasts where case is pending with the Supreme Court for nearly 3 years.

BJP leader Arun Jaitley [ Images ] argues that it is a dangerous and discriminatory bill which presumes that the majority community is always to blame for communal violence
A draft of a proposed legislation titled 'Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence (Access to Justice and Reparations) Bill, 2011' has been put in the public domain. The draft bill ostensibly appears to be a part of an endeavour to prevent and punish communal violence in the country.

Would Jaitley/BJP raise this issue during election times? Not likely. All are after the minority votes.
Pakistan's anti-blasphemy law is implicitly anti-hindu, curtails free speech but it does not apply to a group clash; However, India's CVB is explicitly anti-hindu, automatically assumes that a hindu is guilty, and curtails free-speech and criticism directed at non-hindu faiths. In many respect, CVB is Supra Blasphemy law.
