Govt. dusts off draft Bill prepared by Kerala Law Reforms Commission to curb inhuman and evil practices
The HinduShocked by the purported human sacrifice of two women in Pathanamthitta, the Kerala government has decided to dust off the draft legislation prepared by the Kerala Law Reforms Commission to curb inhuman and evil practices. The government may either opt for an ordinance or a legislation on the floor of the Assembly to take forward the Kerala Prevention and Eradication of Inhuman Evil Practices, Sorcery and Black Magic Bill 2019, which was drafted by the commission. Senior functionaries of the Home and Law departments and the Kerala Law Reforms Commission will soon vet the draft Bill to come up with recommendations to fine-tune it. With the grim memories of the heavy electoral backlash it suffered during the Sabarimala Temple women entry issue fresh in its mind, the CPI-led State government is likely to tread a careful path regarding the proposed Bill as it borders several religious practices that are widely followed in the State, according to sources.
