Waqf Bill: Akhilesh Yadav lambasts BJP, jeers '...Zameen bechna nishana hai'

New Delhi: Lashing out at the BJP-led NDA government on the Waqf Act Amendment Bill, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday said that in the disguise of amendments, BJP is trying to sell the lands of Waqf Board and instead of 'Janata' in BJP, they should add 'Zameen' in it.

Taking it to a social media post on X, Yadav wrote, "All these amendments of the 'Waqf Board' are just an excuse; Selling lands like defence, railway and Nazul land is the target."

Hitting out at the BJP, Yadav alleged that the amendments in the Waqf Bill were issued in the interest of the BJP and it's just another link in the chain of the schemes that benefit BJP.
The tweet added, "Waqf Board lands are just another link in the chain of 'schemes for the benefit of BJP' after Defence land, Railway land and Nazul land. Why doesn't BJP openly write: 'Issued in the interest of BJP'."

SP chief further demanded for a "written guarantee" that Waqf Board lands would not be sold.

"A written guarantee should be given that the Waqf Board's lands will not be sold," the tweet added.

Attacking further, SP supremo Akhilesh Yadav said that the Bharatiya Janata Party should add 'Zameen' in their name instead of Janata, as they are working like a real estate company.

"BJP is working like a real estate company. It should change its name by adding 'Zameen' instead of 'Janta': Bhartiya Zameen Party."
