Srinagar, April 07 (KNS): Former Minister and J&K Peoples Conference General Secretary Molvi Imran Reza Ansari today accused NC leadership of colluding with BJP at the expense of J&K's Muslim population, particularly regarding the contentious Waqf Amendment Bill, 2025.
"From day one, my party and I have been clear — this is a fixed match between NC and BJP, a scripted drama played at the cost of the people of J&K," Ansari declared in his statement.
Ansari highlighted what he described as a telling incident, stating, "While a bill of immense importance to Jammu & Kashmir's Muslim majority — the Waqf Amendment Bill — was being pushed for discussion, where were the top NC leaders? The Chief Minister and his father were busy smiling in tulip gardens with Kiren Rijiju — the same BJP minister tasked with 'minority affairs' and who tabled the Waqf Amendment Bill, 2025."
He emphasized the irony of the situation, saying, "While the rights of their own people were being compromised, these so-called champions of J&K were posing for pictures.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel" He then referenced scripture, adding, "But as the Quran says: 'They plan, and Allah plans — and Allah is the best of planners.' (Quran 8:30)"
JKPC General Secretary expressed strong criticism of the legislative proceedings surrounding the bill, emphasizing that, "To add insult to injury, the Speaker of the Assembly—himself a Muslim in a Muslim-majority Union Territory—had even refused to allow a discussion on the Waqf Amendment Bill."
"The same bill that sailed through several Muslim-minority states was blocked from discussion in a place where Muslims are the majority," he added.
Concluding his statement with a sharp rebuke of the NC leadership, Ansari warned, "When history delivers its verdict on this betrayal, no flower garden photo-op will hide the stain."(KNS)
