Condemning the Udaipur incident, Bahujan Bharat, a social organisation, has demanded stern action against the guilty and a probe without any discrimination.
In a meeting held at the organisation's headquarters, Bahujan Bharat president and former IAS officer Kunwar Fateh Bahadur said that the governments, both state and Central, should set an example and take strict action against the fanatics so that they could not incite religious hysteria any more.
“The Indian Constitution is secular and does not allow the promotion of any particular religion by the government. It is the responsibility of the secular forces as well as the governments to oppose religious bigotry and they should not give social recognition to those who spread religious fanaticism,” Singh said in a statement issued here on Wednesday.
He said the government should conduct an impartial probe and take action against such elements who spread hatred in the name of religion.
Without taking any name, the Bahujan Bharat president said that by taking immediate strict action against those who made objectionable remarks against any religion, the anger on the other side would be checked to a great extent.
In the meeting, Bahujan Bharat general secretary Chintamani, vice-president Nand Kishore, treasurer Ram Kumar Gautam, joint secretary Krishna Kanhaiya Pal, Naval Kishore and Kamal Jayant also expressed their views.
