SRINAGAR , APRIL ,03:
Chairman Jammu Kashmir Civil Society Forum (JKCSF) Qayoom wani strongly condemns and outrightly opposes the Waqf Amendment Bill. Wani stated that this bill is unconstitutional and an attack on the sentiments of the Muslim community in India.
The bill violates fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution of India, particularly: Article 14 ,Article 25 ,Article 26 & Article 29.
This bill is nothing less than an invasion of Muslim Personal Law and an attempt to interfere with the religious and cultural autonomy of the community.
JKCSF stands firmly against any bill which will hurt sentiments of any religion and violates the gurantee of freedom of religion provided by constitution of India.
We call upon all peace loving citizens of india who believe the Constitution, secularism, democracy,unity & diversity to raise their voices and oppose this unjust legislation by peaceful ways and means.
