This time in Murshidabad, Muslim mobs have taken to the streets in protest against the Waqf Act. Mamata Banerjee has lost control over vast areas of Bengal, which have become inaccessible to the state administration due to unnatural demographic changes and illegal infiltration.


This is the law of the MP...

Malviya has written that now she can do nothing but plead in anticipation of their votes. She will have to go in 2026. When the bill was passed in Parliament, Union Home Minister Amit Shah had said that every state will have to accept it, it is the law of Parliament, however, after the Waqf Board Amendment Bill was passed in Parliament, it has been challenged in the Supreme Court.
