Srinagar : Member of Parliament and senior National Conference (NC) leader, Mian Altaf Ahmad Larvi Saturday reiterated his position on the Waqf Amendment Bill during a public interaction in Mamer Kangan.
After inaugurating a shop, the Member of Parliament told reporters that he had already explained his views in Parliament. “Whatever needs to be said on this issue, I have expressed it in the appropriate forum—Parliament. The people have witnessed my statements, and there is no further justification to elaborate here,” he said.
Speaking about the ongoing opposition to the bill, Ahmad said the concerns were not limited to any one community. “This is not just about Muslims. Every citizen—thinkers, intellectuals, and individuals from different regions and religions—has raised concerns,” he said. He added that Muslims were raising their voices, but others had also expressed objections. The Member Parliament said the issue remained active and that public discussion would continue. “We will continue to engage with the people, share updates, and respond as events unfold.
