NEW DELHI: The Left parties have slammed the Centre’s inability to rein in cow vigilantes and said the government-appointed high-level committee will have little effect when ministers and leaders of the ruling party are seen to endorse lynch mobs and their actions.

The allegations, a dual attack on minister Jayant Sinha and in the context of the latest lynching incident of Alwar , came after a CPM delegation led by former MP Nilotpal Basu visited the family of the latest victim of cow vigilantism, Akbar Khan.

Condemning the incident and demanding an investigation into the role of the Rajasthan police, the CPM had demanded that adequate compensation is given to the victim’s family. Drawing attention to the poor financial condition of Khan’s family, CPM has also demanded that the cows purchased by Akbar Khan, which he was ferrying when he was attacked and killed, be handed over to his family.

The Communist Party of India also recalled that while Union home minister Rajnath Singh had condemned mob killings, he had reiterated that law and order is a state issue and that the Centre can only provide help if needed. “Arjun Ram Meghwal is now sharing the blame-game sentiments of RSS-BJP called the lynching part of a conspiracy against the rising popularity of Narendra Modi . CPI condemns such heinous acts and unwillingness to stop them by the BJP ruled governments,” the party said.
