Proposed Model Letter For Those Sending Individual Letters

Date:

To: Honorable Prime Minister of India, Dr Manmohan Singh

Subject: We demand that the government revise the proposed Communal Violence Bill

Text:

Dear Prime Minister,

I [or we] write to you to vigorously protest against the proposed Communal Violence Bill in its

present form that is soon to be tabled in the Parliament. As responsible citizens of this country

we find it truly reprehensible and unfair that wise counsel of anti communal groups, human

rights defenders and independent legal experts was not taken stock of and their very important

suggestions and modifications have been totally ignored. The bill in its present form as is

being proposed is dangerous for the health of our secular democracy and it could cause

great harm to protect victims of communal violence. We want you to urgently intervene

and ensure that the vitally needed legislation on Communal Violence be reviewed and

revised. We want your government not to rush in a law for electoral or short term considerations.

We want this important law to be amongst the finest and the best in the world;

As citizens of country that has been torn and wounded by communal strife, we want a

law that best protects us and gives us justice. You will set a fine democratic precedent by

taking a step back and listening to our plea.

Yours sincerely
