We cannot accept it under any circumstances. This bill violates many fundamental rights of the Constitution. Indian Muslims are being humiliated and maligned through this bill. Also, this bill is also anti -Pasmanda, which you neither realize nor your party. I regret giving so many years of my life to the party. So I am voluntarily resigning from the party’s primary membership and other responsibilities.
