Lynch panel meets on suggestions

New Delhi: A group of ministers led by Union home minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday deliberated on the recommendations that a panel had submitted last week as part of efforts to check lynchings following a Supreme Court prod to end such "acts of mobocracy".

Among the suggestions that the panel, headed by Union home secretary Rajiv Gauba, had come up with was tightening of existing laws and action against India heads of social media platforms for failing to check circulation of rumours.

"In its report the panel recommended that FIRs should be filed against the country heads of social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and YouTube, for not blocking malicious posts/videos when brought to their notice. Legal action should be taken against them for non-compliance with government orders," a home ministry official said.

The panel had also recommended that parliament tighten laws by inserting clauses in the Indian Penal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code.

Ministry sources said the GoM, headed by Rajnath, discussed these recommendations and other remedial measures.

Figures available with the National Crime Records Bureau say that 48 people had been lynched in 41 mob attacks in nine states between May 2014 and April this year, with child-kidnap allegations accounting for 29 of these deaths. Figures from other states were not available.

A July 19 report by the website IndiaSpend said 98 per cent of all violence related to so-called cow protection since 2010 had taken place after the Narendra Modi government came to power in May 2014. It said 33 people were lynched in 86 attacks, 29 of them Muslims, mostly in BJP-ruled states.

The Modi government had finally stirred on lynchings following a Supreme Court nudge in July this year, forming two high-level committees - one of bureaucrats and the other of ministers headed by Rajnath - to suggest steps to check the menace.
