UDF, Left MPs Oppose Waqf Bill Tooth and Nail
The New Indian Express Kochi
|April 03, 2025
PUTTING aside political differences, UDF and LDF MPs from Kerala ignored the Christian Church's warning and opposed the Waqf Amendment Bill 2025 tabled in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.
All the MPs from the state who spoke, barring Union minister Suresh Gopi, questioned the BJP government's intention in bringing in the bill.
Francis George of Kerala Congress said the amendment carried out through the bill "is very much in conflict with the fundamental rights prescribed in part 3 of the Constitution, including violation of Articles 25, 26 and 29. And there's every possibility of the same being declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court as per Article 13 of the Constitution."
