A draft law to deal with mob lynching, the Manav Suraksha Kanoon (MASUKA), produced by the National Campaign Against Mob Lynching, received support from a group of politicians who represent the Congress, the CPI(M), the Aam Aadmi Party, the Rashtriya Janata Dal, the Janata Dal (United), the Samajwadi Party, the Bahujan Samaj Party and the Nationalist Congress Party.
The Campaign members and the MPs said they would first ask the government to bring the draft law to Parliament and start a discussion on the need for such legislation, failing which MASUKA would be brought in as a Private Member’s Bill in Parliament.
