Jammu and Kashmir Assembly has seen a strong uproar on Monday. In fact, the opposition MLAs protested against the speaker for not allowing the adjournment motion on the Waqf Amendment Act. Regarding the uproar, Speaker Abdul Rahim Rathar says that whatever case is under consideration in the court cannot be brought for adjournment. This issue is in the Supreme Court and I have received a copy of it. The rules clearly say that we cannot discuss through the adjournment motion.
PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti said, ‘It is very disappointing that the Speaker of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly has rejected the proposal on the Waqf Bill. Despite obtaining a strong mandate, the government has completely bowed to the BJP’s anti -Muslim agenda and is trying to please both sides. The National Conference (NC) can learn from the Tamil Nadu government, which has strongly opposed the Waqf Bill. Jammu and Kashmir is the only Muslim-dominated region, where it is worrying that it is not even the courage to debate this important issue in the alleged public-centric government.

These religious matters of Muslims- Waheed Para
He said, ‘Islamic religious properties are a heritage left by our ancestors and this is a religious matter of Muslims. It is not right for Muslims to decide and pass the law without including Muslims. All the members of the Muslim community have openly opposed this bill. It is wrong to see Waqf properties as mere property. This is a matter of faith and should be treated in the same way.
