Grand alliance’s CM candidate Tejashwi Yadav made a big announcement in an election rally on Sunday (26 October) in Bihar elections. He said that if India Bloc comes to power in Bihar, the Waqf (Amendment) Act will be thrown into the dustbin.
‘No compromise with communal forces’
Addressing successive public rallies in Muslim-dominated Katihar, Kishanganj and Araria districts, Tejashwi Yadav said, “His father, RJD chief Lalu Prasad, never compromised with communal forces in the country. But Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has always supported such forces, and it is because of him that the RSS and its allies are spreading communal hatred in the state as well as in the country. The BJP should be called the ‘Burn India Party’.”
He further said, “If India Bloc comes to power in the state, we will throw the Waqf Act in the dustbin.” Let us tell you that the ruling BJP-led NDA has called this law a step towards transparency and empowerment for backward Muslims and women in the community, while the opposition has criticized it alleging that it violates the rights of Muslims.
‘Will tear the Waqf bill’
On Saturday (October 25), RJD MLC Mohammad Qari Sohaib courted controversy by saying that if Tejashwi Yadav becomes the CM of Bihar, all bills including the Waqf bill will be torn up, drawing a barrage of attacks from his opposition, who questioned how a central law can be changed by the Chief Minister of a state.
