Blaming the BJP for an attack on a mosque and houses of the minority community at Kolhapur, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi termed the vandalism an act of terrorism encouraged by the Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis Government in Maharashtra.

He pointed out that in the past eight months, such attacks on mosques were carried out in Maharashtra with impunity.

“This is a kind of a terrorist attack on mosques… There is the Shinde-Fadnavis BJP government and because of that government such attacks are being carried out on mosques,” Owaisi said, accusing the police of being a mute spectator when such attacks take place.

“Such incidents are being encouraged, directly or indirectly, by the Shinde-led BJP Government which is why the culprits carry out the attacks with impunity,” he added.

Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said, “You want to be Vishwaguru and you are standing on a mosque trying to demolish it.”

Alleging deliberate targeting of Muslims and mosques, he urged people to vote for the AIMIM so that someone could at least raise the issue while the so-called secular parties were maintaining silence over it. A mob had attacked the mosque and houses of Muslims on Sunday.

Expressing concern over the recent terrorist attack at Doda killing four Army personnel, the AIMIM leader called it the result of the complete failure of the Modi Government in maintaining law and order in J&K.

“It is a failure of the Modi Government. What has happened in Doda… the area is too far away from the LoC. How is it that the terrorists infiltrated and carried out the attack on security personnel,” he wondered, adding it showed the “incapability” of the Modi Government to ensure security in the region.

He asked how the prime minister could claim that terror incidents have gone down following the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.

He pointed out that the government is continuing with its trade with China worth billions of dollars even as the neighbouring country is playing a role in destabilising the region.

Lucknow (PTI): Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Friday criticised the central government for "rushing" the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, saying that the legislation should have been introduced only after addressing people's concerns and clarifying doubts.

Her remarks came after the Rajya Sabha passed the Bill late Thursday night, a day after its approval in the Lok Sabha, where the opposition strongly opposed it.

"After listening to both the ruling party and the opposition in Parliament on the Waqf Amendment Bill, the conclusion is that if the central government had given the public more time to understand the Bill and addressed all their concerns before bringing it forward, it would have been better," Mayawati posted on X in Hindi.

The BSP leader further expressed disappointment over what she termed as the government's "haste" in passing the Bill.

"It is unfortunate that the government hurriedly introduced and passed this Bill, which is not appropriate. Now that it has been passed, if governments misuse it, then the BSP will stand firmly with the Muslim community. In other words, the party does not support this Bill," she added.
