India Bloc Looks to Turn Heat on NDA Allies Nitish and Naidu on Waqf Act

WITH the Supreme Court putting on hold some of the key provisions of the Waqf Act till the next hearing, the Opposition are finding an opportunity to attack NDA allies Janata Dal (United), the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) and Telugu Desam Party (TDP), which helped the Waqf Bill to pass in Parliament.

According to a section of opposition leaders, the court's observation will be a shot in the arm for the parties in poll-bound Bihar. The SC's action of temporarily halting some contentious provisions such as non-Muslims in the Waqf boards has been welcomed by the Opposition parties and Muslim bodies.
