The bill, aimed at improving the management of Waqf properties, has sparked widespread protests, with opposition leaders accusing the government of undermining constitutional values.<\/p>\n<p>During a recent meeting of the opposition bloc, INDIA (Indian National Development Inclusive Alliance), senior leaders discussed their strategy against the bill. Prominent figures such as Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and KC Venugopal, Samajwadi Party\u2019s Ram Gopal Yadav, NCP\u2019s Supriya Sule, TMC\u2019s Kalyan Banerjee, and AAP\u2019s Sanjay Singh were present, alongside leaders from DMK, RJD, CPI-M, and other regional parties.<\/p>\n<p>The bill seeks to bring transparency and efficiency in the administration of Waqf properties by centralizing their management. However, opposition leaders argue that this could lead to political interference in religious matters and harm the autonomy of Muslim institutions. They also assert that it targets the Muslim community by stripping them of their rights over religious and charitable assets.<\/p>\n<p>Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal called the bill \u201ctargeted legislation,\u201d claiming it is a violation of constitutional rights. \u201cThis is a clear-cut violation of the Constitution. People who believe in the Constitution will definitely oppose it,\u201d he said, emphasizing the need to protect constitutional values of equality and secularism.<\/p>\n<p>In a scathing attack, Gogoi, an opposition leader, accused the government of preventing meaningful debate on the bill, alleging that the ruling party had \u201cbulldozed\u201d its agenda. He claimed the opposition had no space to voice concerns in the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) meeting and was forced to walk out.<\/p>\n<p>The government, however, has defended the bill, arguing that it aims to improve the management of Waqf properties by making the system more transparent. Union ministers assert that the reform will ensure better utilization of assets for public benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Despite government assurances, the opposition remains firm in its stance, vowing to vote against the bill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Opposition Parties Slam Waqf Properties Bill, Call It Unconstitutional. &nbsp;
