AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi led a symbolic protest during the Lok Sabha on Wednesday night by ripping apart a copy of the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, while voicing his strong objection to the Bill.
While participating in the debate over the controversial Bill, Hyderabad MP referred to the period of Mahatma Gandhi in South Africa to establish his point.
Describing past events, Owaisi said, "Mahatma Gandhi had said 'My conscience doesn't accept this' and he tore it up." Comparing with what Gandhi did, he asserted, "Like Gandhi, I am also tearing up this law. This is unconstitutional. The BJP wants to make this country develop divisiveness on the pretext of temples and mosques. I condemn this and I request you to accept the 10 amendments."
Complaining against the Bill even more, Owaisi declared that it would curtail the rights of Muslims, reiterating his strong opposition to its clauses.
