New Waqf law against federal structure, INDI should oppose: Bengal CM Mamata

New Waqf law against federal structure, INDI should oppose: Bengal CM Mamata

Kolkata, Apr 16 (UNI) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday urged INDI Alliance constituents to unitedly oppose the Waqf Amendment Act passed by the Centre's BJP-led dispensation, alleging the legislation "undermines" the country's federal structure.

“They have snatched away the fundamental rights. This law is anti-federal. Through you, I will appeal to the INDI Alliance, let us be united and let us fight together boldly. This is not an individual matter; it will affect each and everybody. Today, they are targeting one group. Tomorrow, they will target another. They are talking about the Uniform Civil Code after this…,” said Banerjee, who is also the Trinamool Congress supremo.
