Commends MMU for full filling religious duties on Wakf Board Proposed Bill

Srinagar, Jan 27: PDP Senior Leader and Former law minister Syed Basharat Bukhari Monday Commended the Muttahida Majlis-e-Ulema (MMU) from Jammu and Kashmir for meeting with the JPC to express their concerns and suggestions on the proposed Wakf amendment Bill.

In a statement issued here Basharat Bukhari said the MMU members have fulfilled their religious duties and responsibilities and for Muslims around the globe.

"J&K’s Muttahida Majlis-e-Ulema (MMU), delegation met the JPC in Delhi and put forward their concerns, objections and suggestions on the proposed Wakf amendment bill.The Sharia is sacred and should not be alerted and touched through any way or legislation," he said.

The former minister however said that it was surprising to see absence of any engagement of NC parliamentarians with JPC on the issue so far.

"I hope that the two elected MPs from the ruling National Conference from Central Kashmir and South-Pir Panchal seats must also take time and meet the empowered committee to register the concerns of the community in J&K about the proposed amendments," the former Minister said.

He said both of the MPs being Muslims themselves and having religious sway in their personal capacities have extra responsibility to represent the community's apprehensions vociferously on the proposed amendments in the JPC and stand up against all such amendments which are against the Shariah Law.

"If the two MPs haven't met as yet, they should do so swiftly so that a strong pitch is made against any possible interference in the Shariah Law," he said.
