Rahul gandhi on waqf bill: The Waqf Amendment Bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday (April 02, 2025) and debated. It will be introduced in Rajya Sabha on Thursday (April 03, 2025). Meanwhile, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has strongly protested. He said that this bill is a weapon to grab the property of Muslims.
On the social media platform X, he wrote, the Waqf (Amendment) Bill is a weapon made aimed at marginalizing Muslims and grabbing their personal laws and property rights. This attack on the constitution by the RSS, BJP and their allies is targeted on Muslims today, but sets an example to target other communities in future. The Congress party strongly opposed this law as it attacks India’s original idea and Article 25, violates the right to religious freedom.
What did Mallikarjun Kharge say?
At the same time, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said about the bill, the Waqf (Amendment) Bill of the Modi government is completely unconstitutional, which weakens the right to religious freedom and strives to bring personal laws under the control of the state. The BJP, which has been considering minorities as second -class citizen for a long time, is now targeting their properties through this bill. The Congress party will oppose this divisive RSS/BJP agenda which is against the law of the country.
MK Stalin requested to withdraw the bill
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding withdrawal of Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025. He claimed that this bill would harm the interests of Muslims. Stalin said that the constitution gives every citizen the right to follow their respective religion and it is the duty of the elected governments to maintain, protect it (right).
He said that the constitutional security given to the minorities in the proposed amendments in the Waqf Act, 1995 has not been taken into consideration and this will “cause serious damage to the interests of the Muslim community.”
