Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) MP Abdul Wahab has written to Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar urging him not to allow the introduction of the Wakf Repeal Bill, a Private Member’s Bill moved by BJP MP Harnath Singh Yadav. The Bill, however, was not introduced on Friday as the House got adjourned without taking up any business as Opposition members protested over the Manipur violence.
In his letter to Mr. Dhankhar, Mr. Wahab said the objective of the Bill is to repeal the Wakf Act. “The intention of Mr. Yadav in introducing such a Bill is an attempt to intervene in the faith of the Muslim community and establish the fact of his animosity and hatred against the Muslim community and their belief,” said Mr. Wahab in his letter. The Bill was also listed for introduction during the Budget Session but was not tabled as the House witnessed protests over the Hindenburg report on Adani Ltd.
