NEW DELHI) Key BJP ally Janata Dal (United) on Wednesday delivered a full-throated endorsement of the Waf (Amendment) Bill in Lok Sabha and accused opposition parties of trying to set a narrative that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is anti-Muslim.
Union minister Lalan Singh claimed that the proposed amendments are in the interest of ‘pasmanda’ (backward Muslims) and the poor and women among the minority religion. It will bring transparency, he asserted.
“Pasmandas will stand with Modi in the coming days as they received justice under his government,” he said, adding that the opposition may not like the prime minister but people do.
