New -delhi, April 1 (IANS). Opposition parties are constantly being attacked by the government regarding the WAQF Amendment Bill. The bill will be introduced in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, but the opposition sees it as a planned attack against the non-constitutional and Muslim community. Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Manoj Jha described it as an example of ‘dog whistle politics’. Manoj Jha told Ians: “The whole opposition is against it. Our meetings are held and we stand against it because it is a non-constitutional bill. This bill is actually a planned attack against Muslims.” The RJD MP said this bill was introduced at a time when the government was already surrounded by disputes on different issues. He connected it to ‘dog -whistle politics’, namely to make the Muslim community feel that it is outside of society. He said: “We also said during the Boer movement that you have a majority, but do not implement anything on a rapist. Jha made it clear that his party and the opposition would stand firmly against this bill. The RJD LP said: “This country is very large, parties have come here and have gone, governments have been formed and weakened, but the country’s mood has never changed. Wednesday will see you what the result will be and we will expose the ‘Dog Whistle politics’.” Earlier, the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Kiren Rijiju, said on Tuesday that the WAQF Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha will be introduced immediately after the question of April 2 (Wednesday) and then discussed for eight hours.
