There is a ruckus on Waqf law
Let us know that there is a continuous controversy since the Waqf Bill being passed by both houses of Parliament and the seal of President Draupadi Murmu on it. Opposition political parties are constantly calling it against a particular community, while the central government has also made its stand clear. All the ministers of the central government have said that this law does not target any particular religion in any way. In many states of the country, people of the Muslim community protested against the Waqf law. Violence was also seen in Murshidabad in West Bengal on the issue of Waqf Act.
