Srinagar, April 07 (KNO): Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Monday slammed the government led by the National Conference after Jammu and Kashmir Assembly speaker disallowed discussion in the House on the Waqf law passed by Parliament last week.
In a post on X, Mirwaiz, as per news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said that it is ridiculous and condemnable that Tamil Nadu which only has 6% Muslim population, passes a strong anti-Waqf resolution in its assembly
He said that the Muslim majority J&K assembly speaker is struggling and refusing, by hiding behind technicalities, to discuss this deeply concerting issue for the Muslims of the state.
“The speaker would know that the strong peoples mandate given to his party was precisely for the reason that the party had promised to safeguard the interests of the people being trampled upon since August 2019 and take a stand for them in critical matters. Why is he capitulating so meekly,” he asked.
Earlier, Jammu and Kashmir Assembly speaker Abdul Rahim Rather disallowed discussion of the Waqf Law in the House, citing the matter is sub-judice now—(KNO)
