‘Attack on freedom of religion’: Oppn targets Centre over Waqf Bill

The Congress party and other opposition members strongly protested against the Modi 3.0 government’s proposal to amend the Waqf Act, 1995. They described the bill as unconstitutional, targeting religious minorities, and divisive. Minister Kiren Rijiju sought to table the bill, which includes changing Waqf board memberships to include Muslims and non-Muslims.
