Karnataka BJP president BY Vijayendra said in the State on Wednesday that farmers were receiving a notice from the Waqf Board, which was instigated by the Congress government.
Speaking to ANI, Vijayendra said, “The Waqf issue has become very serious in Karnataka. Thousands of farmers have been getting notice from the Waqf Board, and the Congress government has instigated this. Farmers are upset, and they are on the streets. As a responsible party, the BJP has taken this matter very seriously.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken this Waqf issue seriously. The amendment bill is in process. The state government headed by CM Siddaramiah is only in a hurry to issue notices to the farmers and grab land for Waqf, and the BJP opposes this move.
Earlier on November 22, the Karnataka BJP protested against the Karnataka government over the Waqf issue related to farmers’ lands, alleging the Congress government’s appeasement politics and takeover of farmers’ properties.
