Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday said that anyone involved in fomenting unrest and creating communal tension in the country will be punished by the government.
"Be it the state governments or Centre, if anybody tries to spread communal tension it should not be tolerated and strict action should be taken against him," Rajnath told the media here.
The Home Minister's stern warning comes in the wake of the Dadri lynching case that has taken national precedence.
The Union Home Ministry had earlier expressed concern over incidents having communal overtones, including the Dadri incident, and directed the state governments to act strictly against elements seeking to exploit religious sentiments.
