On the eleventh day of the ongoing Monsoon session of Parliament, Aam Aadmi Party Rajya Sabha MP Sushil Gupta on Thursday sought to bring the incidents of violence in Haryana’s Nuh district to the notice of the Upper House.
Violence broke out between two groups on July 31 in Haryana’s Nuh district, on Monday that claimed the lives of six people including two Home Guards. Following the violence, the security in the districts adjoining Nuh — Faridabad, Palwal, and Gurugram– were strengthened.
In a letter to Rajya Sabha General Secretary, the AAP Rajya Sabha MP said, “Sir, I wish to raise/renew my request to raise the following matter of Urgent Public Importance in the Rajya Sabha on August 3.”
“The communal violence incidents that happened in Nuh area and later spread to Gurugram, resulting in the loss of life, loss of property,” he stated.
“The situation is very serious. Such incidents should be stopped immediately by enforcing the law of the land. Those who are guilty should be brought to book,” he added.
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Wednesday said that “justice” for the victims of Nuh violence will be ensured.
“Strict and decisive action will be taken against anyone found guilty of involvement in the Nuh violence. No one will be spared. Justice for the victims and their families will be ensured,” Khattar said, adding no action will be taken against those who are innocent.
Calling the violence that broke out in Nuh as “unfortunate” he said that the incident had led to the deaths of six people, including four civilians and two home guard personnel.
“What happened in Nuh is unfortunate and this incident has resulted in the tragic loss of six lives, which includes two home guard personnel and four civilians. A number of individuals have sustained injuries and are currently receiving treatment at medical facilities such as Nalhar Hospital, Medanta Hospital in Gurugram, and other hospitals,” Khattar said.
