The Waqf Amendment Bill, introduced in the Lok Sabha, has sparked a heated debate with opposition parties Samajwadi Party (SP) and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) criticizing the government for its alleged attempt to undermine the rights of minorities.
Samajwadi Party (SP) President Akhilesh Yadav has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) of operating like a real estate company, demanding that the government provide a written assurance that Waqf properties will not be sold.
In a post on social media platform X, Yadav stated, "The amendments to the 'Waqf Board' are just an excuse. The real target is to sell land, just as they did with defense, railway, and nazul lands."
