The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has demanded the withdrawal of the controversial Waqf Amendment Act, calling it divisive and unjust. The party has criticized the act for its impact on the Muslim community and their religious institutions. The Waqf Amendment Act, which was passed in 2013, has faced criticism for allegedly infringing upon the autonomy of Waqf boards and their properties. The CPI(M) has urged the government to repeal the act and ensure the protection of Waqf properties. The party has also called for a review of the act to address the concerns raised by the Muslim community. The demand for the withdrawal of the Waqf Amendment Act comes amid growing tensions over religious freedom and minority rights in India. The CPI(M) has been vocal in its opposition to what it sees as discriminatory policies and laws that target minority communities. The party’s stance on the Waqf Amendment Act is part of its broader commitment to upholding secularism and protecting the rights of all religious groups in the country. The call for the repeal of the act is likely to reignite debate over the government’s approach to minority rights and religious freedoms. The CPI(M) has vowed to continue its fight against what it perceives as divisive and unjust laws that undermine the secular fabric of the nation.
