Claim: Provisions listed under various sections of the Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence  bill discriminate against Hindus. This bill was introduced by the Congress led UPA government in the Parliament in 2013.
Fact-check: These provisions that discriminate against Hindus are not mentioned in the PCTV bill by Congress - FACTLY
Verdict: most of the provisions stated in the video that allegedly discriminate against hindus are actually not mentioned in the pctv bill. section 7 only talks about meaning of sexual assault, but it doesn't talk about any religion or community as claimed. section 42 also doesn't talk about any religion or community, it only states that any statement made by a person while giving evidence before the national authority cannot be used against him in any civil or criminal proceedings. also, there is no such clause or section in the bill under which a hindu will be prosecuted if he declines to sell his house to a muslim. in the bill, 'group' can be read as meaning a religious or linguistic minority or sc, st. however, some reports said that the bills were against hindus as the majority are hindus in most cases, and they will suffer under these bills. hence, the claim made is misleading.
