Karnataka Assembly passes resolution against Centre's Waqf bill, BJP walks out

India Today  

The Karnataka Legislative Assembly passed a resolution demanding the withdrawal of the Centre’s Waqf Bill, 2024, sparking a heated debate and prompting a walkout by the Opposition BJP. Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister HK Patil, who moved the resolution, criticised the bill as “one-sided” and accused the central government of disregarding opposition voices. Reading out the resolution in the Assembly, Patil stated, “This House unanimously urges the Central Government to take immediate action to respect the unanimous views of the country by immediately withdrawing the Waqf Bill, 2024, which contains provisions that violate the fundamental principles of the Constitution.” The BJP strongly opposed the resolution, arguing that more than half of the states had already approved the bill. Leader of Opposition R Ashoka accused the Congress government of indulging in “appeasement politics” and alleged that it was ignoring issues such as farmers’ land records being altered in favour of the Waqf Board.
