Rights advocacy group Amnesty International has become the latest to join the bandwagon to criticize the Narendra Modi led BJP government of creating an atmosphere of intolerance by cracking down on dissent through arbitrary arrests, caste-based discrimination, extrajudicial killings and attacks on freedom of expression.
The rights body in its annual report for 2015-16 released on Wednesday said the government had failed to prevent hundreds of incidents of communal violence, usually involving members of the Hindu majority pitted against Muslims or other minorities.
