Waqf Bill Attempt to Polarise Society, Assault on Constitution, Alleges Congress
New Delhi, March 25: The Congress party has strongly criticized the proposed Waqf Bill, alleging that it is an attempt to polarize society and a direct assault on the principles of the Indian Constitution. Party leaders have accused the government of using the legislation to create communal divisions for political gains ahead of upcoming elections.
Senior Congress leader [Name of Leader, if available] stated that the bill is not only unconstitutional but also undermines the secular fabric of the country. “The government is trying to manipulate religious sentiments and divert public attention from real issues like unemployment and inflation,” he said.
The opposition claims that the bill, if passed, will grant disproportionate powers to Waqf Boards, potentially leading to conflicts over land and property rights. Congress leaders have vowed to challenge the legislation both in Parliament and through public mobilization.
Meanwhile, the ruling party has defended the bill, arguing that it aims to streamline the management of Waqf properties and ensure better governance. However, critics argue that its provisions are vague and could lead to arbitrary decisions affecting various communities.
The controversy surrounding the bill has sparked debates across political circles, with civil rights activists and legal experts weighing in on its implications. As discussions continue, the opposition has called for wider consultations and a thorough review before any legislative action is taken.
