No information on attacks on specific minority communities, says minority affairs minister

By Special Correspondent

New Delhi: Taking an alibi that law and order is a state subject, Union Minority Affairs Smriti Irani on Thursday told the Parliament that the government has no precise data on attacks against any particular community as it is not stored centrally.

In response to a question from Rajya Sabha member Abdul Wahab about attacks on minorities, the minister stated that  the respective State Governments are responsible for maintaining law and order, recording, and prosecuting offences against all citizens, especially minorities.

In a written question Wahab, a member of the Indian Union Muslim League, had inquired as to whether there had been an increase in attacks on minority communities and, if so, what steps the government had taken to secure their protection. The Keralan MP had also asked as to whether the government had information on attacks on institutions run by minorities, and if so, what specifics were known.

The written answer from Smriti Irani, who holds additional charge of the Minority Affairs portfolio, read: “Public Order and ‘Police’ are State subjects as per the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India. The responsibility of maintaining law and order, registration and prosecution of crimes against all citizens including minorities, rests with the respective State Governments. As such, specific data regarding attacks against individual communities is not maintained centrally.”

She added that the Indian government keeps an eye on the nation’s internal security and law and order situation and issues the necessary advisories “to ensure peace, public tranquillity, and communal harmony.”

“Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) are deployed to aid and assist State Governments, on their request, to maintain law and order and public tranquility,” she said who just took charge of the minority ministry after Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi resigned after the ruling BJP denied him reelection to the Rajya Sabha.

“The Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India has issued Communal Harmony Guidelines, which, inter-alia, lay down standard operating procedures to deal with situations arising out of any violence. These guidelines are aimed to maintain due vigilance, careful planning and preparatory measures to prevent and pre-empt communal violence,” read the answer.

  1. The role of a minister for Minorities Affairs appears to be restricted to be as a power broker, and thats all. He or she has no interest in their welfare hence no data is gathered these. The respective agencies are responsible for issuing prompt denials about adverse reports coming in the media now and then despite ‘best’ efforts by some media men to block. And, news of atrocities by some of the ruling party supporters are for meant to be overlooked۔ Afterall these are to be treated as aberrations. . .
    Best of luck.

  2. Let her collect data from each state and colate it. Why become minister ? Only to get free electricity, free accomodation, free water, ₹ 2 lakh per month pension till lifetime ??

  3. Perhaps if Hindu minorities were treated in a similar way in Muslim countries…it might make the sleeping fat cow of a minister notice. Everytime a Muslim is murdered by Hindu terrorists…10 Hindu terrorists should be eliminated, and a 100 Hindus expelled from Muslim countries.

  4. This is good. Anyways, muslims are committing genocide against non-muslims all over the world. Muslims don’t let non-muslims freely practice their religion openly. Sometimes it’s good to see when the roles are reversed, no? When the evil muslims are having a taste of their own medicine. Because why is it always muslims on one side and the rest of the world on the other side? muslims vs. Christians/Hindus/Jews/Buddhists/Atheists… Maybe muslims are the problem after all. What do you think, MUSLIMmirror?

    • Some One says mothers and daughters should ‘respect and like'(agree for) prostitution as he is more interested in that, same time you are saying prostitution is not allowed and lecturing people not to follow that. Then what will happen with you? either you should agree with him, otherwise you will be targeted. This is not the main reason Muslim vs Others always? May be this is a funny example, but this is where the whole reality exists behind, but how committed Muslims towards Islam commands is always a question in some cases …
      But you are ready to make your mother daughters for ….

    • “mohammed al majdoub” aka sanghi bhangi

      What I think is that its obvious you’re a filthy lying sh1t eating IT cell Hindu troll. Muslims don’t committee genocide. Hindus cannot live in peace with anyone and have an evil wicked slave based Brahmin death cult which is guilty of numerous atrocities against non-Hindus. A genocide is needed on you which would be a taste of your own medicine.
      Islam is the chemotherapy needed to eliminate the hindu cancer once and for all.

  5. We must admit that we muslims are very violent and barbaric. Unless we mend our ways we will be treated like shiz. We beg our honourable minority affairs minister to show mercy on us

    • To me, it is a primitive tribal that has been wrongly given space in modern egalitarian and progressive societies. These are unfit to live as a neighbour and rightly have been sent to ghettos.

  6. 20 crores in population and then be tagged as a minority- A great joke!
    Still enjoying billions of Minority Benefits, education scholarships and increasing the population to almost seventy per cent more than the national average- only the privilege of Muslims. It’s time that the luxuriant Minority commission and the Ministry be shut.
    Why should Indians pay taxes to support an unviable community? They have financed and funded the community for over seven decades. It’s time that real minority, farmers and wage earners, be recognised and helped than to concentrate a community that refuses to leap forward and is busy engineering riots while living in ghettos.
    Not a penny from my taxes. I have paid enough.

    • “unhappy” Hindu gutter rat,

      Another RSS Hindu sh1t eater who cant do basic math! Are you retarded like a typical Hindu? 20 crore is a minority out of 140 crore population, you monkey worshipping son of a hindu wh0re. Indian Muslims don’t get any luxuries or benefits which Hindus don’t already do. You don’t pay any taxes because you’re a Hindu beggar bhangi who is paid by the RSS it cell to troll. The hindu bhangis who clean Muslim toilets make more then you do.
      Its Hindus who need to be shut down. All Hindus need to be deported from Muslim countries back to your bhangi mata for permanent ghar wapsi. Evil monkey worshipping Hindu bastards have no place in a civilized society

      • Halala Breed !!-Aurenjeb- the first-class bastard begs for the oil for the lamp at mazaar and dogs piss on his stone. The illeterate, poor and backward – wallow in the ghettos.
        The community, unfit for civil society, should be kicked out to the muslim countries with no visa by any country. Ride the camels and give its Kurbani.

        • “unhappy” Hindu gutter rat,

          Another retarded reply by the sh1t eating, monkey worshipping pagan Hindu sewer rat. You breed is lower then a dead cockroach. Looks like your smelly gaand was offended at the truth…which makes sense because truth to a Hindu is like sun light a vampire. Don’t you know, Hindus have the highest rate illiterates amongst your sh1t religion? It makes sense Hindus still worships animals and drink cow piss. No wonder so many of you smelly bastards are selling your kidneys to get a work visa to clean toilets in Muslim countries.
          Your “community” does not belong on Earth, and should be exterminated since you serve no purpose whatsoever. But you can try to become human by drinking Muslim mutr and cleaning our gutters like your ancestors did.
