The Bharatiya Janata Get together (BJP) has hit out at former Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav over his comment that the Waqf Act will likely be scrapped if the Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) involves energy within the state, the place the meeting elections are due later this 12 months.
BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi, in a press convention, alleged that Yadav’s comment reveals he doesn’t respect Parliament nor the judiciary. He mentioned that the INDIA bloc has not been in a position to come out of the Emergency mindset of throwing the Structure into the dustbin.
“Just lately, we marked 50 years because the Emergency. It’s deeply unlucky that simply yesterday in Patna, Tejashwi Yadav stood in a public rally and mentioned that Parliament’s handed regulation will likely be thrown into the dustbin,” he mentioned.
RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday claimed that the ruling NDA in Bihar was “on its method out”, and the brand new authorities within the state led by the opposition alliance will “consign to the dustbin” the Waqf Act introduced by the Narendra Modi dispensation on the Centre. The chief was addressing a ‘Save Waqf, Save Structure’ rally on the historic Gandhi Maidan in Bihar’s capital, Patna.
Reacting to the RJD chief’s comment, Bihar Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary mentioned, “Hooliganism means Lalu Ji’s household, if it’s about criminalisation, it’s Lalu Ji’s household, and if it’s about tearing up a invoice, it’s Lalu Ji’s household.”
Bihar minister Mangal Pandey mentioned that the RJD chief’s assertion is a direct problem to the Parliament and the Structure.
“On this democracy, who has the audacity to throw a proposal handed by the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha into the dustbin? This instantly displays a mentality that’s stuffed with the considered not accepting the Structure of Baba Saheb Ambedkar. The individuals who crushed the Structure by imposing the Emergency are those who can converse such language… Those that problem the democratic system, the individuals of this nation won’t ever settle for or tolerate them,” he added.
Bihar Minister Prem Kumar accused the RJD scion of spreading misinformation. “The modification to the Waqf Invoice launched in Parliament is an efficient step. It’s going to profit a big part of the Muslim inhabitants, particularly the poor, girls, and widows. The management held by a handful of individuals will finish, and the earnings from Waqf properties will likely be used for the welfare of frequent individuals,” he mentioned.
Congress Reacts To Sudhanshu Trivedi’s Comment
On BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi’s assertion, Congress chief Pawan Khera mentioned legal guidelines handed within the Parliament can undoubtedly be overruled by it. “If Sudhanshu doesn’t perceive this primary tenet of democracy, then what’s he even doing within the Parliament? This mentality, language, can solely come from those that wouldn’t have a primary understanding of this nation. So I don’t suppose we have to legitimise these very anti-national remarks by even commenting on them,” he added.
Waqf Act
The Waqf (Modification) Invoice, 2025, was handed earlier this 12 months by the Parliament and later bought the President’s assent. The federal government claims that the act introduces important reforms geared toward enhancing the governance, transparency, and effectivity of waqf property administration in India.
Key adjustments within the act embrace redefining the formation of waqf, bettering the survey and registration course of, empowering authorities oversight, and guaranteeing inclusivity by incorporating non-Muslim members and girls into waqf-related our bodies. These provisions mark an important step towards modernising Waqf property administration in India, the federal government mentioned.
