Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Vinod Bansal expressed his concern over the Waqf Amendment Bill 2024, saying that it is normal to support or oppose the bill in democracy, but it should not be protested by making religious places a part of politics. He said that it is not right to blacken Namaz in the name of protest and make mosques a political arena.
Fundamental groups accused
Bansal alleged that some radical Muslim groups are trying to push the Muslims of the country and spread them to violence by spreading lies. It is harmful to the country and everyone should stand together against it. He said that this bill is in the interest of everyone and it should be understood and supported by everyone.
Should protest properly
Bansal also said that everyone has the right to protest in a democratic country, but this protest should be done in a constitutional and peaceful manner. He clearly stated that religious places should not be used for political purpose in protest against any bill.
Bill debate and status
On the Waqf Amendment Bill, the government says that this bill is in the interest of all sections of the society, while the opposition considers it unconstitutional. Meanwhile, Bansal’s statement gives a message that healthy debate and dialogue is most important in democracy and it strengthens the unity of the country.
