Hisar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday launched a scathing attack on the Congress, accusing it of changing the Waqf Act for “appeasement politics”.
He claimed that if the Waqf Board had worked as per its original objective, Muslims of India would not have been forced to live in poverty and do menial tasks like “puncture repairs”. He accused the Congress of changing the Waqf rules to benefit its vote bank at the cost of the Constitution and social justice.
Addressing a large gathering in Hisar, Prime Minister Modi said, “Congress weaponized the Constitution to grab power. During the Emergency, the spirit of the Constitution was killed to retain power. The Constitution talks about a secular civil code, but Congress never implemented it.”
Questioning the Congress’s sincerity towards the Muslim community, he said, “They say they have done this in favour of Muslims. I want to ask these vote bank hungry politicians – if they really sympathise with Muslims, why doesn’t Congress make a Muslim the party president? Why don’t they give 50 per cent of their tickets to Muslims? They don’t want to do that, but rather want to take away 50 per cent of the rights of the country.” Clarifying the basic objective of the Waqf Board, Prime Minister Modi said that its aim is to uplift the poor and marginalised Muslims, especially women.
