Srinagar: Janata Dal United (JDU) President G.M. Shaheen has strongly criticized the Opposition for opposing the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, accusing them of misleading the Muslim community for political gains.
Shaheen as per news avencu JKNS alleged that Opposition parties are either trying to appease their vote bank or fear losing land acquired through Waqf. “The government is bringing transparency to the Waqf system. What is wrong with that? We are not just supporting this Bill; we want full transparency,” he said, emphasizing that the amendments will ultimately benefit the Muslim community.
He further accused the Opposition of historically creating problems for Muslims while claiming that only the NDA government is working to ensure fair governance for all communities. “The Opposition has always exploited the Muslim community, but this government is ensuring that governance is easier and fairer,” he remarked.
Shaheen reaffirmed JDU’s support for the bill, stating that it will help eliminate corruption and mismanagement in Waqf affairs. (JKNS)
