Hyderabad: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday appeared to have found fault with the Centre's reported view against bringing in a new law to curb mob lynchings.
The Bill I’d proposed to curb mob violence sought to fix shoddy enforcement by ensuring independent investigation & prosecution — Asaduddin Owaisi (@asadowaisi) August 26, 2019
Unless errant cops are penalised & accused are imprisoned in a time-bound manner, the mob will only feel emboldened
It’s not rocket science @AmitShah https://t.co/z6KpjfWwf8
Owaisi, Lok Sabha member from Hyderabad, referred to media reports, quoting officials, that a new law to curb lynching is unlikely as existing laws were enough to combat crimes like lynching and all it required was "enforcement." He had earlier favoured bringing in a law against lynching.
He had also proposed a bill to check incidents of mob lynchings.
