The support of some political parties to the BJP’s communal agenda has completely exposed their so -called secular facade.
What did the leaders of the opposition say on the Waqf Bill?
- Rahul Gandhi: The Waqf Bill attacks Muslims and sets an example of targeting other communities in the future. After passing the bill, RSS has now focused on the land of Catholic Church. The RSS did not take long to turn its focus to Christians. The constitution is the only shield that protects our people from such attacks and it is our collective duty to protect it.
- Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge: The government’s intention is not good. Who will give Waqf Land, it did not come out. Will give traders … I don’t know. Will feed people like Ambani-Adani. I would appeal to the Home Minister to withdraw it. Do not make it a prestige issue. This is not good for Muslims. Is against the constitution.
- PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti: It should not happen. It is an organization of minorities, Muslims and to bulldozers it in this way and pass it in Rajya Sabha, I think it is equivalent to robbery, which is very wrong that should not be.
- NC MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi: The BJP has no moral or political right to speak for Muslims and by passing the Waqf Bill, the RSS-BJP rule has confirmed its anti-Muslim, anti-minority intention. Today India has gone into a dark age of cruel majority, where minority interests were shown to be the door.
