no impactNew Delhi, Jul 12 (PTI) An Islamic forum today said the Centres assurance that those involved in mob lynchings would be acted against was not having any impact on the ground, and the situation was "deteriorating very fast". "The spate of mob lynchings rages persistently in trains, buses and public places. It is highly regrettable that there is a feeling of fear and insecurity among citizens in many places of the country. "Those in power assure us that breaking the law will not be tolerated and the guilty will be awarded exemplary punishment but the reality is that this assurance is not having any impact on the ground," Umari said in a statement. He said Muslims should not use the language of fear and despondency nor use the language of confrontation and communalism and instead "build bridges with fellow countrymen".
