Minister's Allegations on Waqf Amendment Bill Opponents Highlight Political Tensions

Rajasthan Agriculture Minister Dr. Kirodi Lal Meena alleges that opposition to the Waqf Amendment Bill 2024 is being driven by Congress leaders. Meena claims Fazlur Raheem is inciting violence and misappropriating Waqf properties. Jamea Tul Hidaya refutes these allegations, calling them baseless and divisive.

Rajasthan Agriculture Minister Dr. Kirodi Lal Meena on Monday alleged that those opposing the Waqf Amendment Bill 2024 have close ties with Congress leaders, accusing them of misleading and inciting the public.

Responding to Meena, Jamea Tul Hidaya issued a statement refuting these baseless allegations and asserting they are harmful to the nation's atmosphere. Dr. Meena, however, insists the opposition is launching a campaign against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The minister also pointed fingers at Fazlur Raheem of the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board, claiming he is encouraging violence and illegally selling Waqf properties. Meena urged ED, CBI, and NIA to investigate.
