KOLKATA: Trinamool Congress’s minority cell will hold a rally at Rani Rashmoni Road on November 30, opposing the Centre’s proposed Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024. Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee is likely to illustrate the party’s stand on the proposed Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024. Senior party leaders Firhad Hakim, minority cell chairman and Itahar MLA Mosaraf Hossain will also attend the meeting.
Hakim TMC leader said, “The Centre has been trying to bring an undemocratic bill in the Parliament. A protest has been going on across the country. The minority cell is also going to hold a protest rally.”
Meanwhile, the Winter Session of the state Assembly is going to be crucial as the Mamata Banerjee government may bring a resolution opposing the Centre’s proposed Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024.
The Trinamool Congress had earlier opposed the Centre’s legislation relating to Waqf as it argued that it would be an attempt to infringe upon the state governments’ rights. Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had also slammed PM Narendra Modi on the issue.
