Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs and Minor Irrigation J.C. Madhuswamy has taken exception to actions and statements by Hindutva outfits on imposing restrictions on Muslim traders and vendors and said that the country belonged to everyone.
Speaking to presspersons at Nippani in Belagavi district on Sunday, he said that the government would not support any such move to impose restrictions. “If they take law into their hands, the Government will take action. There is no doubt about it,” he said.
Mr. Madhuswamy said: “This country belongs to everyone. All those who stayed here when India got independence are Indians. There is no point creating a row now. The Government will not encourage such acts and will take action to control them. This should not continue like this, no citizen will endorse such acts.”
