Jaipur, March 7 -- Rajasthan Congress president Govind Singh Dotasra on Friday criticized the proposed Rajasthan Disturbed Area Bill, 2026 during a debate in the legislative assembly, accusing the state government of attempting to fuel religious polarisation and curb constitutional rights.
Participating in the discussion, Dotasra alleged that the government was trying to replicate the "Gujarat model" by bringing legislation that could create communal tensions and consolidate majority votes. He claimed the bill was aimed at increasing government control over land and property transactions. "The right to buy and sell property is guaranteed by the Constitution. Government interference in these rights will only promote corruption and is a conspiracy to disturb peaceful areas," Dotasra said.
He questioned the government on how it would determine which areas would be declared "disturbed" and which communities were being referred to. "Which areas will be termed disturbed and which community are you targeting? If the Congress returns to power in 2028, we will repeal this bill," he said.
The debate turned heated after Congress MLA Harimohan Sharma alleged that the current leadership was creating an atmosphere of division and attempting to fragment even Sanatan Dharma for political gains. "Sanatan Dharma respects all religions, irrespective of who follows them. But you want to divide even Sanatan Dharma. In your view, a Hindu in the BJP is a Hindu, while a Hindu in the Congress is labelled a Muslim," Sharma said.
BJP MLA Shrichand Kriplani said that making speeches was easy and added that those who had migrated from Pakistan understood the hardships faced during communal turmoil. "We are the ones protecting Sanatan Dharma, not you," Kriplani said....
