NEW DELHI: Social activists and student leaders on Monday launched a national campaign against mob lynching, aimed at demanding a stringent law to prevent such incidents. If the government does not enact a law within a month, they said they would start a countrywide mass campaign from July 11which marks the anniversary of the Una Dalit movement.

Student leaders Kanhaiya Kumar and Shehla Rashid, social activist and lawyer Jignesh Mevani and entrepreneur Tehseen Poonawala, besides others, have formed a committee which will work on a draft legislation which they intend to convince the government for introducing in Parliament.

"People are being killed in the name of gau mata. The mob always has a face -we need to identify the face of the mob. The practice of mob lynching is growing and we too will be attacked if we do not take action now. We need to unite the voices rising against mob lynching," said Kanhaiya.

The activists steered clear of basing the campaign on communal lines. "This is not a communal issue. It does not affect only Muslims. A mob killed an autorickshaw driver who tried to stop them from urinating in the public," said Shehla Rashid.

The activists advocated that a law should be enacted on the lines of National Security Act 1980. Claiming that this is a politically neutral campaign, the activists said they will meet the chief ministers of every state, including the ones ruled by the BJP, with a draft legislation to initiate a dialogue with them and seek their support.
