JPC committee action motivated by politics
Attacking the JPC, minister Priyank Kharge said that the JPC committee’s visit to the state is politically motivated. What is the Joint Parliamentary Committee? Are all members required to attend committee meetings? Only the president has come. Who is with them? He is a former BJP MP. What does all this have to do with the committee? BJP says Waqf should be scrapped. Even a year and a half ago there was a BJP government. So why has it taken so long to file the lawsuit?
Jagdambika Pal’s visit considered an electoral stunt
While talking about this in Haveri, another minister Ishwar Khandre said that the Joint Parliamentary Committee meeting is an election stunt. The BJP blames us for their mistakes. They are doing this kind of drama to hide their failure. CM stated that no farmer has been left out. He said Waqf does not happen without investigation.
They said thatThe Joint Commission of Parliament makes politics. Innocent people should understand this. By-elections have been held in Maharashtra, Jharkhand and other states; All this is an electoral trick. He said our government will resolve it amicably. Home Minister Parmeshwar said that the chairman of the House Joint Committee on Waqf has come alone. This is just a political game.
