Mahadangal: Waqf Act Turns Into Political Flashpoint on ABP News as Bihar Election Nears | ABP NEWS

The controversial Waqf law became the focal point of a fiery debate on ABP News' primetime show Mahadangal. As Bihar heads into election season, political tensions flared with BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi accusing the opposition of playing vote bank politics in the name of secularism. He slammed RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and Congress for allegedly pushing a “maulvi script” over the Constitution, comparing Tejashwi’s stance to the Emergency era’s disregard for democratic institutions. The debate was triggered by remarks made at the “Waqf Bachao, Sanvidhan Bachao” rally in Patna, where Congress leader Pawan Khera said even a law passed in Parliament—like the Waqf Act—can be “thrown in the dustbin,” just like the repealed Farm Bills. Trivedi hit back, calling the statement an insult to Babasaheb Ambedkar and parliamentary integrity. RJD MP Manoj Jha supported Khera’s view, defending democratic dissent and citing the Farm Bills as precedent for repealing flawed laws. Congress spokesperson Abhay Dubey accused the BJP of stoking communal unrest and reminded viewers that socialism and secularism are rooted in Bihar’s legacy. With top RSS and BJP leaders joining the attack, the Waqf law has become a key issue ahead of the Bihar elections.
