New Delhi: While referring to Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav’s recent statement on the Waqf Amendment Act, BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi on June 29 hit out at the INDI alliance.
The BJP MP mentioned that parties, including RJD and SP, who are wearing the “garb” of socialism, are not fighting for the rights of “oppressed” Muslims. He mentioned that if the socialism of these parties may be called “Namazvaad”, then it will not be an exaggeration.
“These parties like RJD, Samajwadi Party, etc, who are wearing the garb of socialism, are not standing up for the rights of the poor and oppressed Muslims. Therefore, the socialism of RJD and SP cannot be called socialism at all. If it is called ‘Namazvad’, then it will not be an exaggeration. BJP and the NDA alliance are determined that if anyone wants to throw Baba Saheb Ambedkar’s constitution, any of its provisions, into the dustbin, we will not let that happen”, Sudhanshu Trivedi said while addressing a press conference on Monday.
Sudhanshu Trivedi stated that it is very “sad” that at a place where lakhs of people had gathered without caring about their lives to save the “Constitution”, in the same place a rally was held where Tejashwi Yadav said that he would “throw the law passed by the Parliament in the dustbin”.

“Recently, 50 years of the Emergency, the most dreadful chapter in the democratic history of India, were completed. But it is very sad that yesterday in the same Gandhi Maidan in Patna, where during the Emergency lakhs of people had gathered without caring for their lives to protect the Constitution, a rally was held in which Tejashwi Yadav said that we will throw the law passed by the Parliament in the dustbin”, Sudhanshu Trivedi said.
The BJP MP highlighted that the law has been passed in both houses of the parliament and is currently pending in the Supreme Court.
“Both houses of the Indian Parliament have passed it, it is pending in the court, not just one but half a dozen judgments of the High Court, the judgments of Allahabad and Calcutta High Court are clearly in his favour”, Sudhanshu Trivedi said.
The BJP MP stressed that the opposition is unable to move beyond their 50-year-old mentality of disregarding the constitution for the sake of pursuing their vote bank.
“This means that there is no respect for the Parliament or, judiciary. Whatever Tejashwi Yadav and other leaders of the INDI alliance have said in the pursuit of vote bank, it is clear that they are not able to come out of the 50-year-old mentality of throwing the Constitution in the dustbin”, the BJP MP said.
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav joined the Waqf Amendment Act protests in Patna on Sunday. The Waqf Amendment Act was passed in both houses of the parliament on April 3 and 4, and became a law after receiving assent from the president on April 5. (ANI)
