Nation will be governed by Babasaheb's Constitution, not by Sharia: BJP flays RJD

TAKING strong exception to INDIA bloc’s fresh opposition to Waqf reforms, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi on Monday said that the current government won't allow a repeat of the Emergency era and will ensure that the nation is governed by laws, as enshrined in the Constitution.

Addressing a Press conference at the party HQs, the BJP's RS MP tore into the harmful ‘designs and dreams’ of the INDIA bloc, accusing it of introducing Sharia laws from the backdoor when the Congress government was in power.

"Whatever the INDIA alliance is dreaming of, we will never let those dreams come true. The nation will be governed by Babasaheb’s Constitution, not by the Sharia," Sudhanshu Trivedi said.

The BJP lawmaker's sharp critique came in the backdrop of RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s claims of "throwing Waqf Act into the dustbin" if the Mahagathbandhan comes to power in Bihar that is slated to go to polls later this year.
