'It's not anti-Muslim…' JDU, Lalan Singh in Parliament with Waqf Bill – Transparency is essential…

Waqf Board Amendment Bill 2024: The Waqf Bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha on Thursday. Opposition parties opposed the Waqf Board Amendment Bill, while BJP's allies in the NDA supported it. JDU also supported the Waqf Bill. JDU MP and Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Singh supported the bill and said in Parliament that the bill was not anti-Muslim. He also gave the reason for his support. Lalan Singh said – He is not anti-Muslim, JDU MP and Union Minister Lalan Singh, who spoke in support of the Waqf Bill in Parliament, I heard from many colleagues here. After listening to many colleagues, it appeared that the amendment bill brought in the Waqf Board was anti-Muslim. Where does this anti-Muslim act come from, I ask? Which of its laws shows that it is anti-Muslim? There is no disturbance in your mosque – said Lalan Singh targeting the opposition parties and the example of Ayodhya temple is being given here. If you don't understand the difference between a temple and an establishment, what argument are you looking for? Lalan Singh said it is not a temple. No attempt was made to damage your mosque. It is a statutory body. Legislation is enacted to make the organization transparent.

This is also created by some law. If any institution created by law is autocratic, the government has the right to bring transparency in it. They (the opposition) compare it to a temple. It is of no use. There is no division in the name of religion. They spread confusion. Lalan Singh attacked the opposition and said they were talking about minorities. Who killed thousands of Punjabi Sikhs in this country? We are witness to what your party has done. Did a taxi driver kill Indira Gandhi? These murders took place while roaming the streets. He gave his reasons for supporting the bill… Lalan Singh said, “We have our support for this bill and we want this bill to come.” There should be transparency. We have the same request. Before starting his speech, Lalan Singh said JD(U) is the party here as opposition leaders raised their voices in protest. Be it voting or supporting. We reserve the right to express our opinions.
