Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Saturday said the BJP-led government was focusing on development of all sections of society without any discrimination, but unfortunately some people were trying to "destroy" the harmonious atmosphere.
However, these people were not getting any support and being 'isolated', he said, without elaborating.
The Union Minister of Minority Affairs said the Centre was committed to the safety, security and prosperity of every section of society.
"Unfortunately, some people are trying to destroy or disturb our harmonious atmosphere and these people are trying to do all sort of things," he told reporters on the sidelines of an event here.
To a query whether any special law will be enacted against those who try to disturb communal harmony, he said, "there is sufficient law to deal with these criminals.."
Asked whether people in Kashmir would be able to apply online for Hajj pilgrimage as internet services were yet to be restored, Naqvi said, "... there is no problem for the Kashmiri people who want to fill their applications."
On the coming Parliament session, Naqvi said "This time also we are expecting (it to be productive)."
