New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday accused the Congress of playing vote bank politics following reports that the government is planning to push through the long pending Communal Violence Bill in the Winter Session of Parliament. 
 
The Bill promises to penalise public servants for dereliction of duty during times of communal violence. The details of the Bill were being worked out. 
 
The BJP, however, said the Bill in its present form was not acceptable. 
 
Minority Affairs Minister Rahman Khan had revived demand for the Bill when he wrote to the Prime Minsiter after the Muzaffarnagar riots. He said, "Communal incidents have to be curbed with the creation of effective laws, otherwise it is a 
violation of human rights. The government is committed to bring the Communal Violence Bill." 
 
BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said the Bill was tailored by the Congress to target certain groups. "The earlier Communal Violence Bill was tailored by the Congress to target certain groups and institutions. Let the Bill be tabled. We will take a call after studying the new draft." 
 
Janata Dal United chief Sharad Yadav said the party will study the Bill once it is introduced in Parliament. "The Communal Violence Bill has to come. The violence in Muzaffarnagar has woken up all political fronts. So let the Bill be produced in Parliament, we will study it and then we can discuss it."
