Karnataka BJP president says the Waqf (Amendment) Bill will address the state's farmers' issues

BJP committed to protecting farmer's interests: Vijayendra

Karnataka BJP President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra said on Wednesday that the party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have committed to protecting the interests of the farmers whose lands have been allegedly claimed by the Waqf Board.

Speaking to the media in Bidar, Vijayendra said that no injustice will be done to farmers and the Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2024, which is being deliberated upon by the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC), will take care of their issues.

The BJP leader maintained that he encouraged anyone, including BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal, to submit their grievances on the alleged encroachments by the Waqf Board.

He also mentioned that a committee under former Deputy Chief Minister and BJP MP Govind Karajol had previously submitted its report in Hubballi, emphasizing the protection of farmers, temples, and monasteries.

Nevertheless, the truth is, armed with what is unmistakably the most feared and powerful war machine ever created, America has been the leading violator of international legality and prime perpetrator of international outlawry. Therefore, the apprehension and forced exile of Maduro being violative of international law and Article 2 of the UN Charter is of a piece with the character of an American administration regardless of its dispensation
