Bihar Muslim Organisations Boycott Nitish Kumar's Iftaar Event Over Waqf Bill Support; Congress Urges Not To Mix Festivities With Politics

The article from Swarajya magazine discusses the political tension surrounding Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's Iftar event. Several Muslim organizations in Bihar have decided to boycott the event due to Kumar's support for a Waqf Bill that they believe undermines the rights of the Muslim community. This bill, which was passed in the Bihar Assembly, aims to regulate Waqf properties but has been met with opposition for allegedly encroaching on the autonomy of the Waqf Board. Additionally, the Congress party has criticized the mixing of religious festivities with political agendas, urging that such events should not be platforms for political statements or actions. This boycott and the Congress's stance highlight the ongoing debate over the intersection of religion and politics in India.
