UCC, Waqf bill part of schemes to spread hatred: Karra
Jammu: President of the Congress chapter in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir Tariq Hameed Karra has said that the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and Waqf (Amendment) Bill are part of schemes to spread hatred and divide people.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Tariq Hameed Karra talking to reporters in Jammu said the time has come to rise to get freedom from the rulers spreading hatred in the country to remain in power.
“In my opinion, the UCC and Waqf (Amendment) Bill are linked to the sustained hatred being spread in the country. Both the UCC and the Waqf issue are the outcome of their agenda of hate to create anarchy,” Karra said, responding to the questions on the implementation of UCC in BJP-led Uttarakhand and the joint parliamentary committee negating every change moved by the opposition members.
He said there is a sustained campaign going on against all the minorities, not only Muslims but also Dalits and Christian and others as well, to isolate them under the policy of hate.
“It is astonishing that they (BJP leadership) are saying Hindus are in danger in a country of 140 crore population where Muslims are only 17 crore. The notion of a minority posing a threat to the majority shows their weakness and exposes their nefarious designs,” he said.
He claimed that their slogan ‘Abhi nahitohkabhinahi’ (If not now then never) is to push hatred. “Earlier, it used to be Khelo (play) India but now they have turned it into Khodo (dig) India and they are doing everything to implement such things (to remain in power).”
Asked about his views on the upcoming Union Budget, he said the previous budgets of the BJP-led NDA have so far proved a “flop show”. Therefore, he said, there is no hope that there will be a miracle budget that will help control the GDP, inflation, unemployment and improve deteriorating education and health sectors.
