Senior JD (U) leader Mohammad Qasim Ansari resigned from the party and all his positions over the party’s stand on the Waqf Amendment Bill.

In a letter to JDU President and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Ansari expressed deep disappointment over the party’s support for the Waqf Amendment Bill. He said that millions of Indian Muslims had trusted JD (U) to maintain secular values, but now this trust is broken.
Ansari criticized JDU leader Lalan Singh’s speech in the Lok Sabha, calling the bill a violation of anti -Muslim and constitutional rights. He also described it as discriminatory against Pasmanda Muslim community. In his letter to Kumar, he said that millions of Indian Muslims like us had unwavering faith in you as the flag bearer of a true secular ideology. However, this confidence is now broken.

We are very disappointed with the way Lalan Singh gave his speech and supported this bill in the Lok Sabha.
Regreting his years of service for the party, he announced the resignation of the party’s primary membership and all other responsibilities. He said, “The Waqf Bill is against Indian Muslims and we cannot accept it under any circumstances. This bill violates many fundamental rights contained in the Constitution. It humiliates Indian Muslims as well as discrimination with the Pasmanda community. Neither you nor your party feel. Resigning from membership and all other responsibilities. “
