Bengaluru: " If we come back to power, we will ban organisations like Sangh Parivar, SDPI, PFI who are instigating communal riots in state," said home minister Ramalinga Reddy on Monday.

He was speaking at the media interaction held at the Bengaluru Press club. He blamed the BJP for promoting hatred in the state. He said, " BJP is trying to set fire in the state. There have been 30 riots in the state in the last 5 years. Out of these, 28 riots were witnessed in Dakshina Kannada District and 2 in Udupi".

" We have ensured that BJP is not successful in its plan to instigate riots here. Even BJP national president Amit Shah had provoked that they will set the state on fire. But we have stopped them" Reddy claimed.

" Prime Minister Narendra Modi has brought disrepute to his position by saying that it is easy to murder someone in Bengaluru. He should first go through the crime statistics of the state before making any statement" Reddy urged.

New Delhi: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has raised serious concerns over alleged procedural violations by the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) reviewing the Waqf Amendment Bill 2024. AIMPLB spokesperson Dr. SQR Ilyas criticised the JPC's approach, describing it as a "transgression of principles" and a breach of constitutional norms.

Dr. Ilyas stated that the JPC should limit consultations to stakeholders directly associated with Waqf matters. However, he claimed the committee is seeking input from organisations that lack relevance, including Central Ministries, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), and groups aligned with the RSS.

In recent developments, six opposition members wrote to the Lok Sabha Speaker, expressing dissatisfaction with JPC Chairperson Jagdambika Pal’s conduct, which they allege has hindered fair discussions. This follows an earlier letter by opposition members condemning the chairman's behaviour.

The AIMPLB has demanded that the committee consider objections from AIMPLB and other recognised Muslim organisations, while excluding entities unrelated to Waqf issues. It also urged the JPC to refrain from rushing its report and to follow due process, ensuring thorough debate among members before submission.
