‘Centre wants to hand over Waqf land to its industrialist friends’: Uddhav Thackeray

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday slammed the Centre over the Waqf (Amendment) Bill saying the BJP-led government is eying the Waqf land to meet the interests of industrialists. Thackeray said his party opposed the Waqf Bill in Parliament as it was against the seizure of Waqf land. “If the government wants to take over land then first take over the land which has been grabbed by Pakistan and China.

Thackeray said the controversial Bill was introduced in Parliament to divert attention from the issue of US’ reciprocal tax tariff that posed a challenge to India. ...

Delimitation row | The North-South divide

The south of India is drawing a thick red line. At an all-party meeting convened by Tamil Nadu chief minister M.K. Stalin on March 5, leaders from across the state declared war against the upcoming delimitation exercise, calling it a calculated assault on their “political relevance”. Stalin warned that the plan, if executed on raw population figures, would punish the southern states for successfully controlling their birth rates, while rewarding the North that had not. Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah, Telangana’s A. Revanth Reddy, and Kerala’s Pinarayi Vijayan have voiced similar apprehensions, warning that a weaker parliamentary presence for the South would translate into diminished central allocations, further deepening the divisions between the two regions.
