AGARTALA, July 21 (TIWN): Mob-lynching has been hitting the parliament since last two days led the Prime Minister to give a reaction on this issue and Union Home Minister reacted two times in past two days. After Tripura, Punjab and other state’s mob-lynching issues had been raised in the Parliament, PM Modi asked the states to ‘stop violence’ quoting, “Any instance of violence brings shame to the nation. I will once again urge the state governments to punish those who indulge in violence”. Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday suggested to the states that a "strict law, if needed" should be framed by them to stop mob lynching incidents and assured them of providing all support to fight with the menace happening in the country. He also hit out at the Congress, terming the 1984 anti-Sikh riots as the "biggest" such incident after Independence. Condemning these rumour mongering incidents for the second consecutive day, the minister, in his speech during the debate on the no-confidence vote in Lok Sabha, said such incidents should not happen.

Taking a dig at Shashi Tharoor's remark over 'Hindu Pakistan' and mob lynching, Rajnath said the biggest mob lynching had happened in 1984. “Mob lynching incidents are very unfortunate and I asked state governments to make strictest of laws against it but I would like tell people who are raising these issues that the biggest case of mob lynching happened during 1984 Sikh genocide”.
