‘Act will throw the Act in Bihar Dustbin’: Tejashvi, Pappu Yadav should join thousands of India news against Waqf amendment

Leader of Opposition in Bihar Legislative Assembly, Tejashvi Yadav, CPI (ML), Rajya Sabha member Imran Pratapgari, and Lok Sabha member Pappu Yadav, along with other MPs and Mus, CPI (ML), Rajya Sabha Bhattacharya, Rajya Sabha Bhattacharya, and Lok Sabha Member Pappu Yadav. The state president of the Congress also read the message of support of the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and the party’s national president Mallikarjun Kharge.

Addressing the gathering, Tejashvi Yadav said that the RJD is opposing the Act in both Parliament and the streets. “… When the amendment Bill about Waqf came to Parliament in 2025, we strongly opposed it in both houses. And not only, when the JPC (Joint Parliamentary Committee) was formed and after the bill was passed, our party also went to the Supreme Court against it … whether it will fight at home, or in courts, we will fight all.”

Assembly elections are to be held in Bihar later this year.

“Those who are in power are on their way … When the government of the poor comes to power, Bihar will throw this act in dustbin …” he said.

Tejashvi also alleged that an attempt was being made to disintegrate those people in the poor and minority communities by changing the electoral rolls. “Your land is being taken and now they are going to take away the voting rights of the poor, backward, Dalits, very backward, and poor … The Election Commission has released a information that they are going to make a new list of 8 crore voters, and this new list should be made in only 30 days. The list, the list, they will also remove the name from the pension list,” he claimed.

Pappu Yadav said similar allegations, “By taking away the voting rights of 4.7 crore poor people through the Election Commission, they (NDA) want to contest in Bihar … This is a proxy war … Within a month, they want to make 4.7 crore people (Bihar) who are out, are homeless.”

Maulana Faisal Rahmanani, head of the building-e-Sharia, described the protest as a milestone and not concluded. “This movement will continue until the Waqf Act is withdrawn,” he said. He criticized the Act as unconstitutional and minority, as well as the constitution 13, 14, 25, 26, and 300A as well as the alleged violations of the Supreme Court’s decisions. “We accept the 1995 WAQF law. But these amendments are nothing, but there is a bid to remove the places of our worship and heritage buildings. This law reduces the spirit of brotherhood in the country,” Rahmani told the Indian Express.

The sounds of the crowd resonated the voices on the stage. Under the scorching sun, thousands of people, old and youth packed Gandhi Maidan.

A person from Madhubani, holding both the oblique and a black-white Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, said on the situation of oblivion, “There has been a consistent pattern of anti-Muslim functions, which is starting with NRC and continues with triple talaq and is now with Waqf.

“Our mosques, schools and land are all subject to Waqf for our protection … All religions are treated equally under the Constitution. So why are we being divided by the government?” An elderly participant asked.
