NEW DELHI: Rejecting the contention that intolerance is growing under NDA rule, Home Minister Rajnath Singh today asserted in Lok Sabha that anyone trying to disturb harmony will not be spared as he expressed readiness to order CBI probe into incidents like Dadri and Kalburgi murders.
Replying to a debate on ‘intolerance’, he also appealed, once again, to the writers, artists and scientists, who have returned their awards, to take them back and expressed willingness to discuss their apprehensions and suggestions.
In his speech during which several opposition parties staged a walkout towards the end, Singh said the allegations that ‘intolerance’ is increasing under the Narendra Modi Government is unfounded.
Projecting India as a place not fit for living will only hurt the country’s image and prevent foreign investment, he said.
“I want to assure this House, on behalf of myself and the Prime Minister, that if anyone tries to harm the social and religious harmony, he will not be spared,” he said. (AGENCIES)
