The Communist Party of India (Marxist) in Tamil Nadu has called for the withdrawal of the controversial Waqf Amendment Act, labeling it as divisive and unjust. The CPM has raised concerns over the new amendments to the Waqf Act, alleging that they could harm the interests of the Muslim community in India. The party has demanded that the government reconsider these amendments and take steps to protect the rights of the Waqf properties. The Waqf Amendment Act, which was passed in 2013, has faced criticism from various quarters for its impact on the management and administration of Waqf properties. The CPM’s demand for the withdrawal of the act comes in the wake of growing protests against the legislation. The party has urged the government to engage in a dialogue with all stakeholders, including the Muslim community, to address their concerns and find a more equitable solution. The CPM’s stance on the Waqf Amendment Act is likely to add pressure on the government to review the controversial legislation and take corrective measures. The issue has become a point of contention in Tamil Nadu, with various political parties and religious groups joining the chorus of opposition against the amendments. It remains to be seen how the government will respond to the demands for the withdrawal of the act and whether it will initiate a process of consultation with the concerned parties to find a resolution to the issue.
