Controversy Erupts Over Kerala Assembly's Waqf Amendment Resolution

The BJP criticizes the Kerala assembly's resolution urging the withdrawal of the Waqf Amendment Bill, accusing opposition parties of undermining the Constitution and polarizing Muslims. Meanwhile, opposition MPs express discontent following allegations made during a Joint Parliamentary Committee meeting, highlighting political tensions surrounding the controversial bill.

The Kerala assembly's resolution calling for the withdrawal of the Waqf Amendment Bill has sparked criticism from the BJP. BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla accused the Left and Congress of undermining the Constitution while questioning their jurisdiction in matters handled by the central government.

Poonawalla argued that the opposition's actions are a strategy to spread misinformation and polarize the Muslim community. He cited previous resolutions against policies like the CAA law and 'one nation, one election' as part of a broader agenda against effective governance.

In a related development, opposition MPs walked out of a Joint Parliamentary Committee meeting on the Waqf Bill after Anwar Manippady made allegations against the Karnataka Government and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge. The MPs deemed the comments politically motivated, underscoring tensions in debate over the bill.
