Ruckus inside J&K Assembly continues for second day over Waqf Act
The Jammu and Kashmir Assembly witnessed yet another day of chaos and commotion as opposition parties continued to demand a discussion on the Waqf Act, leading to the adjournment of the House for 30 minutes. This is the second consecutive day that the Assembly has been adjourned due to the ruckus over the controversial act.
The opposition parties, including the National Conference, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Congress, have been demanding a discussion on the Waqf Act, which they claim is detrimental to the interests of the Muslim community in the state. The act, which was passed by the previous government, aims to regulate the management and administration of Waqf properties in the state.
On Monday, the Assembly was adjourned after Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather denied a motion moved by National Conference MLAs to adjourn Question Hour to discuss the Waqf Act. The opposition parties were not satisfied with the Speaker’s decision and decided to continue their protest.
As the Assembly session resumed on Tuesday, the opposition parties once again raised the issue of the Waqf Act and demanded a discussion. The Speaker, however, rejected their plea, leading to a heated exchange between the opposition parties and the government.
The opposition parties accused the government of not listening to their concerns and of trying to suppress the truth. They claimed that the Waqf Act is a “black law” that will benefit only a few individuals and will harm the Muslim community in the state.
The government, on the other hand, claimed that the opposition parties are raising unnecessary issues and are trying to create unnecessary controversy. The government alleged that the Waqf Act is a necessary measure to ensure the proper management and administration of Waqf properties in the state.
The ruckus inside the Assembly led to the adjournment of the House for 30 minutes. The opposition parties continued their protest, with some of them even staging a walkout from the House.
The controversy over the Waqf Act has been going on for some time now, with the opposition parties claiming that the act is unconstitutional and will lead to the erosion of the rights of the Muslim community in the state. The government, on the other hand, has defended the act, claiming that it is necessary to ensure the proper management and administration of Waqf properties in the state.
The controversy has also led to allegations of corruption and nepotism, with the opposition parties claiming that the act will benefit only a few individuals who are close to the government. The government has denied these allegations, claiming that the act is a necessary measure to ensure the proper management and administration of Waqf properties in the state.
The ruckus inside the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly over the Waqf Act is likely to continue, with the opposition parties refusing to back down from their demand for a discussion on the issue. The government, on the other hand, is likely to continue to defend the act, claiming that it is necessary to ensure the proper management and administration of Waqf properties in the state.
In the meantime, the people of Jammu and Kashmir are likely to continue to watch the developments with interest, with many of them expressing concern over the controversy surrounding the Waqf Act. The controversy has also led to calls for transparency and accountability, with many people demanding that the government come clean on the issue.
