We are observing Ramadan with our community in Banswada, and we’re discussing the present circumstances under the central government’s leadership. There is an effort underway to introduce legislation aimed at taking over the management of Islamic endowment properties known as Waqf lands. The BRS party firmly stands against this move. We remain steadfast supporters of our Muslim compatriots; we’ve consistently advocated for their advancement. Throughout the Telangana movement, they stood beside us… Harmony must be maintained across India and specifically within Telangana. Hence, we will contest this proposed measure.
