Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], November 13 : Reacting to Union Minister Amit Shah's statement that the Modi government would amend the Waqf board law "come what may (danke ki chot par)" after which no one would be able to declare private land as Waqf property, NCP-SP Supriya Sule on Wednesday said that the country runs on a Constitution ad not invisible forces.
Speaking to ANI, Sule said "Joint Parliamentary Committee is a huge thing. Are they going to end that too? This is a democracy and the country runs on a Constitution, not on any invisible force."
Shah had said that Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is against the changes, but the bill to amend the law regarding the Waqf board will soon be passed in the Parliament.
"The Waqf Board of Karnataka has transferred lands of farmers, villages and old temples to Waqf property, and no one can stop them. It won't be possible here, because Modi ji has proposed the changes in the law of the Waqf Board. The Aghadi is against the changes, but the bill to amend the law regarding the Waqf board will soon be passed in the Parliament," Shah said.
"Narendra Modi sarkar waqf kanoon danke ki chot par badal ne wali hai (Come what may Narendra Modi government is going to amend the Waqf act) and then no one's land or house would be declared as Waqf property. This is a free India, and no one has the permission to do this," he added.
Further, Sule also lashed out at BJP-led Mahayuti alliance slogan "Batenge toh katenge" and said that the language of dividing was against Baba Saheb Ambedkar's constitution.
"In my principles and in whatever I have been taught, this language of dividing is against Baba Saheb Ambedkar's constitution. Our constitution only speaks the language of love and togetherness. It again proves that the BJP is against the Constitution," Sule said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing rallies in Chimur, Solapur, and Pune earlier on Tuesday, accused Congress of creating divisions and stirring caste conflicts. He called for unity under the slogan "hum ek hain to safe hain" (we are safe if we are united) and claimed Congress was unhappy with Maharashtra's unity, seeking to create divisions. "Congress is unhappy with your unity and wants one caste to fight another. Will you allow this conspiracy to succeed?" he asked the crowd.
