New Delhi : Talking tough, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday asserted that violence in the name of faith of any kind won't be tolerated and the guilty would be punished, in a clear reference to the mayhem caused by the followers of self-styled godman Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh.Modi said nobody has the right to take the law into own hands and everybody will have to bow before the law.
Invoking Lord Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi to remind about the country's tradition of non-violence, he said the Constitution prepared by B R Ambedkar provides scope for redressal of all kinds of grievances and justice to all.
"On the one hand, the country is in the midst of celebrating festivals and on the other, when news of violence from any part of the country comes in, it is only natural of be concerned," the Prime Minister said in his monthly radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat' which he began with this issue.
Though he did not take any names, he was clearly referring to the mayhem caused by the followers of Ram Rahim, chief of Dera Sacha Sauda, in Haryana after his conviction in a rape case on last Friday. "For centuries, our forefathers have imbibed community values, non-violence, mutual respect – these are inherent to us," Modi said.
