New Delhi: The government is ready with a draft bill for a new law to protect minorities against discrimination in education, employment and housing, a report claimed Monday.

As per the new law, discriminating minorities could attract a fine of upto five lakh rupees and a jail term of three years.

The draft bill to constitute an Equal Opportunity Commission has been circulated by the Minority Affairs Ministry, a news channel reported.

The commission is being constituted based on the findings of the Sachar Committee, which dealt with discrimination faced by minorities, especially Muslims.

A fine of Rs 1 lakh per day can also be slapped by the commission if the accused does not comply with its rulings.

Importantly, the proposed law will cover all the minorities and also has a provision to bring in other social groups within the ambit of the law through gazette notifications.

what`s wrong with a law which protects everybody, not just the minorites, but every indian citizen, against discrimination? and will this law work too in areas where the minorities are the majority and the majority has minor numbers? surely not. this alone is reason for members of the majority community not to vote for parties which come with such discriminatory bills.

why they dont make strict rules for child workers?? only because children dont vote. well, when we talk about minority in india its mainly muslims, though christians have increased like mushrooms now, due to sonia gandi`s effort, but even now only muslims are target in india fro votes. well, muslims, who are majority in minority, they were 5% in 19 47, today almost 25%. if they can increase their population, then y cant they make their life better, same place our hindu children are where muslims are, hindu are studying working hard, in-fact few muslims also, but majority is not. they prefer madarsa, and when they grow up they want mercedes and lavish bunglows/flats at narima pt.. is it not stupidity.

what a non funny step. y is congress not worried about the children and people below18??in india, muslims should not be allowed to vote. let them have all facilities, educate them, let them have good job and better living conditions. let them come to that level where they understand what exactly is good for human being then allow them to vote, if required. once this is done, all will be fine for minorities. let them realise they are also humans, and humanity is he best religion. when it comes to christians, ask them why are they chris tians, those who are new chris tians, they get huge amount for con vr sn, they should grow on their own. these congressee will make indians imp ote nt, if they are allowed to be in power any more.

these steps were long overdue. every developed country has protected its minorities. india too need to show the world that it has matured. minorities are really facing discrimination in the jobs, housing etc.

this is another propaganda by the govt and diversion tactics to sideline the issue of lokpal. congress knows that with this issue majority will oppose and they can create a divide for lokpal. so who is playing minority card in this country, one can understand

that`s really stupid. minorities dont go to schools and colleges and ignore higher education because of which they dont get preference in jobs and when they dont get jobs they cry out loud that they are being discriminated upon. why do they have to go to religious schools and madarsas to study when they very well know that, that part of their education will not count in real life. politicians are selfish and they dont want welfare of anyone but only votes. till such time minorities dont understand this they will always think they are discriminated which is not true.

this is the game cong has played after independence with the help of limited muslim leaders. the living and education standard of muslims are not addressed by this politicians and muslim leaders. they have looked at muslims as vote bank nothing more than that. it is a unfortunate that middle class muslims did not educate this to poor muslims on this matter. let us lake a pool what percentage of people do secondary education in muslim and non muslim population. then this picture will be clear. pool must be state wise as in west bengal/ kerala muslim going to school is much more than other state.
