Asaduddin Owaisi Criticizes Mosque Surveys and Waqf Amendment Bill in Parliament

The AIMIM leader accuses the Modi government of undermining minority rights and constitutional protections during a heated Lok Sabha speech.

Asaduddin Owaisi spoke in the Lok Sabha, questioning mosque surveys and the targeting of Waqf properties under the Waqf Amendment Bill.
The AIMIM MP criticized the government for allegedly undermining constitutional rights of minorities, citing Articles 25, 26, 29, 30, 14, and 21 as fundamental to justice and equality.
He highlighted incidents of harassment against Muslims, including mob violence linked to cow slaughter bans, as examples of systemic discrimination.
Owaisi commended the Supreme Court's recent decision to pause lower court orders on religious site surveys, calling it a necessary intervention.
The Waqf Amendment Bill, which mandates government oversight on funds for welfare purposes, has been criticized by opposition parties for infringing on religious freedoms.
