Members of Social Democratic Party of India protested near Madikeri Indira Gandhi Circle and burnt the copies of the Waqf Amendment Bill. In Virajpet also members protested near Clock Tower and burnt the copies of the Waqf Amendment Bill recently.
Amin Mohisin, district president of SDPI, speaking on the occasion, blamed that the bill tabled by the Union Government in the Parliament shows that the government is snatching the remaining Waqf land, instead of reclaiming it.
Speaking further he said that bill was introduced in a hurry, even though a joint parliamentary committee was formed to discuss the bill was not done and also the suggestions from the leaders of the opposition was also ignored and alleged that the bill is biased.
He also claims that at least 70 per cent of the Waqf land has already been lost, which were donated by the people. He also said that SDPI will strongly condemn this and plans to intensify the protests. Various leaders Abdul Adkar, Mansoor, Rizqan, Nazir, Sharif and others took part in the protests.
