Govt ‘having fun’ selling national assets built by Nehru: Shiv Sena
In a sharp attack on the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party at the Centre, the Shiv Sena on Sunday said that the ‘long-term vision’ of the late Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru saved the country from the current economic disaster it is reeling under and the present government is now enjoying selling the national assets he created.”The BJP government may have differences with Sonia Gandhi, Rahul or Priyanka, but why this hatred for Nehru? The institutions created by Nehru are being sold by the present government to give a fillip to the economy,” said Sena MP and Chief Spokesperson Sanjay Raut.His comments came over the dropping of photos of India’s first Prime Minister Nehru and the country’s first Education Minister Maulana Abul Kalam Azad from a promotional released by the Union Education Ministry’s Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR) on the 75th year celebrations of India’s Independence, sparking a row recently.Dwelling on Nehru’s nation-building legacy, Raut asserted that “the government is now having fun selling off the national assets created by him, otherwise the country would be starving, people would be jobless and there would have anarchy”.”You should be forever indebted to Nehru but instead, you have wiped out his very role in the Freedom Movement. Why so much animosity towards Nehru. You must reply to the country,” Raut said.Slamming the Central government for the act in his weekly column ‘Rokthok’ in the party newspaper ‘Saamna’ Group, Raut said without the contributions of Nehru and Azad, the history of Indian Freedom Movement “will never be complete”.”Only those who cannot make history consider it a bravado to erase the history of others. Those who kept far away from and never participated in the Freedom Struggle are now trying to keep out one of the heroes of the Independence Movement. This is not proper,” he said.”You may have political differences with Nehru’s party (Congress), or his politics or his domestic and foreign policies. But to remove his contributions to the country’s freedom struggle in this manner is an insult to each freedom-fighter,” Raut added without mincing words.He said that in the same vindictive vein, the government renamed the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award, but the contributions of Nehru and Indira Gandhi to the Indian Independence are “immortal”, and asked what the country hopes to gain by this.In this context, he lauded the political magnanimity displayed recently by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin as an “exemplary act of love, sympathy and respect for political opponents”.Raut said that when he took over as CM, Stalin was confronted with the issue of 6.5 million schoolbags to be distributed free to students, but had the photos of the former CMs the late J. Jayalalitha and E. Palaniswamy who was voted out in May 2021.”When asked by his officials what to do with the bags, CM Stalin categorically said the scheme should not stop because of the photos (Jayalalitha and Palaniswamy), and must be immediately disbursed to the children. He said the state would save Rs 15-crore which can be used in the war against Coronavirus,” Raut pointed out.This is the same CM whose father (the late CM M. Karuranidhi) was dragged out of his home by Jalalalitha’s policemen at the dead of the night and arrested, but Stalin showed a cultured and mature behaviour to forget the old hatred in the state’s interest, and Raut urged “all political parties to take a lesson from this”.

It is unconstitutional to deprive SP MLA Raees Sheikh of his right to handle religious affairs under Article 26 of the Constitution
Mumbai: Maharashtra MLA Raees Sheikh has opposed the introduction of the Wakf Bill in the Lok Sabha. Raees Sheikh has strongly criticized the BJP for creating a false narrative and called the bill a misconception and unconstitutional bill which is harmful for the poor of the society.
Shaikh further said that Article 26 of the Constitution guarantees freedom to run religious institutions. It is unconstitutional to take away the right of a person to run his institution under Article 26 of the Constitution. MLA Shaikh said that this move is against the constitutional guarantee of dealing with religious matters.
Shaikh said that the BJP government is showing the UPA government that it is doing politics of appeasement of a particular community, while the BJP-led government is not doing so. This is an attempt to spread a lie that allows the community to seize any land under Waqf or claim it to be Waqf. The Waqf Board is not a private organisation of the Muslim community but a statutory body established under the Waqf Act. In the process of declaring a property as Waqf, a government surveyor conducts a survey and officially declares the property as Waqf. Sheikh remarked that it is completely wrong to present the idea that Muslims can arbitrarily declare any property as Waqf.
Shaikh further said that he strongly opposes the false image being created by the government and the government has not considered the suggestions given by Muslims or the opposition. All Waqf governing boards and trusts have been given the option to exit the Waqf framework. This has weakened the system. “This is an unimaginable and unimaginable bill that only harms the poor of the society,” Sheikh said.
He further said that some provisions, such as the condition that the person making the donation should have been a Muslim for five years, are strange. Earlier encroachment on wakf property was a non-bailable offence, but now it has been made a criminal offence
