Mob lynching, honour killing must be considered as terror activities: DMK

A DMK member on Friday demanded in Lok Sabha that mob lynching and honour killing be treated as terrorist activities.

Speaking during the Zero Hour, Ravikumar cited the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data and said there has been a rise in the number of cases of mob lynching and honour killing.

“Such incidents (mob lynching and honour killing) should be treated like terrorist acts," he said, speaking in his native tongue Tamil.

TN Pratahapan (Congress) demanded that the issue of Rohingyas refugees should be viewed through the humanitarian prism. He said India believes in the concept of Vasudeva Kutumbakam (the world is one family).

Rohingyas refugees from Myanmar, he said, are one of the most persecuted community. They don't even have access to proper sanitation facilities in the country
