Taking note of the recent violent clashes between two communities in various States, the National Commission for Minorities (NCM) on Wednesday said some people, not any political party, are trying to disturb peace in the country and asked the law enforcement authorities to identify them and unearth the "conspiracy".
"I would not blame any political party. But, for these clashes, I will definitely blame some elements, a small number of people. They are trying to disturb the peace with some ulterior motive. They should be identified, their conspiracies should be unearthed and action be taken against them," NCM chairperson Iqbal Singh Lalpura said while responding to queries at a press conference here.
Speaking on the violent clashes between two groups in Patiala district of Punjab recently, the NCM chairperson said the State government could have prevented it.
