Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Tuesday targeted Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for refusing to implement the Waqf Amendment Act and said that under the federal structure, no state can stop the implementation of a law passed by Parliament.
Rijiju said this about CM Mamata
Rijiju said that some misguided Muslims and politicians engaged in appeasing vote banks are opposing the Waqf Amendment Act. He said that the government will soon expose such people. He made these comments during a press conference in Mumbai.
Waqf Act will not be implemented in Bengal - CM Mamata.
Mamata Banerjee had earlier said that the Waqf Act will not be implemented in Bengal and she will protect minorities and their properties. Reacting to Banerjee's remarks, the Minority Affairs Minister said, "We work under a federal structure. She can oppose the Act in principle, but cannot say that she will not implement the law passed by Parliament in the state."
He said, 'We will soon expose those who are looting poor Muslims and misleading them about the provisions of the law. Such people and some politicians doing vote bank politics have spread the lie that Muslims will lose their graveyards and mosques and their land will be confiscated. It is a sin to lie.'

He also criticized the Trinamool Congress chief for the violence in Murshidabad over the Waqf Act. He said that many members of the Muslim community have come forward to thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi for implementing the Waqf Act. The Union Minister said that rules will be made to ensure that Waqf properties are used for the welfare of poor Muslims.
