Echo of Waqf Board notices to farmers: BJP to protest against Congress Government tomorrow
Mysuru: As part of a State-wide protest organised by the BJP against notices issued to farmers by the Karnataka State Waqf Board, district and city BJP units will lay siege to the Deputy Commissioner’s office and the Tahsildar’s office in city tomorrow (Nov. 4).
This was announced to the media by Dr. Anil Thomas, President of the BJP State Minorities Wing and L. Nagendra, City BJP President and former MLA, during a press conference held at the City BJP office this morning.
Dr. Anil Thomas stated that protests will be held at all taluk centres across the State, led by MLAs and former MLAs. The demonstrations will continue until justice is served, with many participants, including farmers who have received notices claiming their land belongs to the Waqf Board.
He criticised the State Government, led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, for failing to support the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) formed by the Central Government to review the Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2024. Anil Thomas alleged that instead of protecting farmers’ rights, the Government is attempting to seize their land as part of minority appeasement.
