PM Modi slams Congress for opposing Waqf law and disrespecting Ambedkar

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday slammed Congress for opposing the Waqf Amendment Act, saying it was infected by the "vote bank virus." He accused the party of betraying Ambedkar's vision by turning the Constitution into a tool for appeasement and self-interest.

"Congress turned our sacred Constitution into a weapon for gaining power. Whenever Congress sensed a threat to its hold on power, it trampled the Constitution," PM Modi said while inaugurating the Hisar airport in Haryana.
