'Nuh Violence Orchestrated By Congress': Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij Tells State Assembly

Speaker Gian Chand Gupta, on the other hand, declined to debate the violence in the House, claiming it was a pending matter.

After accusing the Congress of "orchestrating" the communal violence in Nuh district on July 31, Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij told the Assembly on Monday that the government "is democratic and secular, allowing people of all religions to freely practise their religious activities based on their beliefs," news agency IANS reported.

He said that the continuing investigation into the event, as well as the arrest of 500 people, "indicate that it was orchestrated by Congress."

Speaker Gian Chand Gupta, on the other hand, declined to debate the violence in the House, claiming it was a pending matter.

The demolition of buildings, according to Bhupinder Hooda, the head of the opposition and a former chief minister, is "sub-judice."

Bhupinder Hooda, the leader of the opposition and a former chief minister, said the demolition of dwellings is "sub-judice."

"We are not demanding discussion on demolition, we want discussion on the Nuh violence and the conspiracy behind it. We demand the Speaker's ruling on whether a discussion shall be held or not,” he was quoted by IANS in its report.

Congress on the other hand, demanded that the administration should launch an investigation into the suspected plot behind the violence.

Congress MLA B B Batra questioned why the Nuh violence, with the exception of the "bulldozer action part which is before the high court," could not be considered in the Assembly if Parliament could consider the Manipur case, on which the Supreme Court had taken suo motu cognizance, PTI reported.

According to Speaker Gian Chand Gupta, the Nuh and Guguram violence is part of the case before the Supreme Court and so cannot be discussed in the House.

On the other side, Batra and Hooda urged that the Speaker to give a ruling on the case.

Six people were killed and hundreds were injured in communal rioting on July 31 in Muslim-dominated Nuh, around 90 km from Delhi.
