New Delhi [India], March 17 (ANI): Congress leader Pramod Tiwari reacted to the All India Muslim Personal Law Board's protest against the Waqf Amendment Bill 2024 and said that they will clarify the situation once the bill comes into the Parliament and doesn't agree with what the BJP wants.

'When the JPC was formed on Waqf, we clarified the situation there. When this (bill) comes into Parliament, we will clarify there, too. We do not agree with what the BJP wants', Pramod Tiwari said to ANI on Monday.

Other than Pramod Tiwari, Congress MP Manickam Tagore also expressed his views on the AIMPLB protest against the Waqf Bill and stated that Congress opposes the Waqf bill. 'Congress party opposes this bill. We are working with INDIA alliance partners to deal with this in Parliament', he said to ANI on Monday.

Earlier, the AIMPLB began their protest at the Jantar Mantar in New Delhi under the leadership of Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas. As per Ilyas, protestors from Uttar Pradesh and Haryana are coming to take part in the protest but they have received news that their busses are being stopped by the administration.

He stated that the government should not be feared and listen to the voice of the people. Such a government doesn't have the right to rule and cannot listen to the voice of its people.

'People were coming from many districts of UP and Haryana but now we have received information that their buses are being stopped. We believe that this is a very peaceful protest and the administration should support us in this. The government need not be afraid and they should listen to the voice of the people. If there is such a cowardly government that cannot listen to the voice of its people then it has no right to rule', Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas said. (ANI)
