Concentrating on the Congress, he stated the Opposition occasion made the Structure a software for gaining energy. “Throughout the Emergency, the spirit of the Structure was killed to retain energy. The Structure talks a couple of secular civil code, however Congress by no means carried out it. Right this moment, a uniform civil code has been carried out in Uttarakhand. Sadly, the Congress is opposing this. Congress by no means bothered to examine if the advantages of reservation reached SC/ST and OBC communities,” the Prime Minister stated.
“We should always remember what the Congress did to Babasaheb Ambedkar. Whereas he was alive, the occasion insulted him repeatedly. They made him lose elections twice.

The Congress made arbitrary adjustments within the Waqf regulation for political mileage and the adjustments turned the Structure on its head, the Prime Minister stated. “I need to ask these vote-bank hungry leaders, should you care in regards to the Muslims, why would not Congress make a Muslim its occasion president. Give 50 per cent tickets in Lok Sabha election to Muslims. In the event that they win, they’d put ahead their views. However no, they will not give (Muslims) something within the Congress. They’ll snatch the rights of residents. Their intention was by no means to do something good for anybody,” he stated.

However only some land mafia benefited from these properties. This mafia was looting lands belonging to Dalit, backward sections and widows. The loot of the poor will cease after these adjustments to the Waqf regulation. Beneath the brand new Waqf regulation, land or property belonging to tribals can’t be touched by the Waqf Board. Poor Muslims and Pasmanda Muslims will get their rights. That is actual social justice,” he stated.

We’ve got been preventing for this for a very long time,” he stated. “They (BJP) say we’ve insulted Babasaheb Ambedkar.
