Don’t Be Under Illusion: Giriraj Singh to Owaisi Over Waqf Comments

New Delhi: Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Tuesday hit back at AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi for his remarks on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, asserting that the Waqf Board will function strictly in accordance with the law. His response came after Owaisi warned the Centre in the Lok Sabha against implementing the bill in its current form, arguing that it would violate Articles 25, 26, and 14 of the Constitution and could lead to "social instability." Responding to Owaisi's statement, Giriraj Singh said that India operates under the rule of law, irrespective of religion.
