Congress MLA Izharul Hussain on Wednesday claimed that he would end his life if the Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2024 is passed, which is currently being debated in the Parliament.<\/p>\n
“The Central government wants to take over the property of minorities. Waqf property belongs to Allah and benefits the poor. If this bill is passed, I will end my life,” Izharul Hussain said while interacting with the media persons in Kishanganj.<\/p>\n
Izharul Hussain has warned of major protests if the Bill is passed in the Parliament.<\/p>\n
“If necessary, I will go from Kishanganj to Parliament to stop this Bill. This is not just a minority issue – temples, gurudwaras, and churches may also be targeted next by passing similar bills in the future to snatch their lands,” he said.<\/p>\n
The MLA accused the Union government of using divisive politics before elections.<\/p>\n
“They have no development agenda. They bring such bills to distract people. Earlier, they brought anti-farmer laws, and we opposed them too,” Izharul Hussain said.<\/p>\n
Izharul Hussain argued that Waqf properties are donations meant for social welfare.<\/p>\n
“Now, the government is even eyeing Allah’s property to grab it and hand it over to the industrialist,” he said.<\/p>\n
The bill has sparked a major political divide, especially in Bihar, where parties are taking strong positions for and against it.<\/p>\n
The Grand Alliance (Mahagathbandhan) in Bihar has vowed to oppose the Bill.<\/p>\n
Bihar Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav said, “We will strongly oppose this Bill in Parliament. It is against minorities and social justice.”<\/p>\n
Congress leaders also said that they would reject this Bill and stand with those fighting against it.<\/p>\n
Janata Dal-United is officially supporting the Bill despite discontent among some Muslim leaders within the party.<\/p>\n
LJP-Ram Vilas has issued a whip for its MPs to vote in favour of the Bill.<\/p>\n
Hindustani Awam Morcha chief Jitan Ram Manjhi has backed the Bill and even criticised Lalu Yadav for his past statements on Waqf.<\/p>\n
Rashtriya Lok Morcha, led by Upendra Kushwaha, also supported the bill.<\/p>\n
