CPI(M) leader Mohamad Yousuf Tarigami on Monday said the Waqf (Amendment) Act is an assault on the rights of the Muslim minority community.

“During the party Congress in Madurai, delegates from across the country, including those with deep associations with the faith, writers and people who have dedicated their lives to political and social matters unanimously concluded that the Waqf (Amendment) Act is a serious infringement on the rights of the Muslim minority community,” Tarigami said.

He said such measures threaten the democratic framework and constitutional values of the country.

“This is what we highlighted there. Because of such actions, the democratic fabric and constitutional structure of our country are being weakened,” he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
