Patna, March 29 (NationPress) The Union Minister Lalan Singh asserted on Saturday that the properties linked to the fodder scam will be seized by law enforcement authorities.
“The properties belonging to those implicated in the fodder scam will be confiscated, and the funds will be channeled into the Bihar government’s treasury. This is a just decision made by the court,” he stated.
The Union Minister also commented on Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav endorsing parties that oppose the Waqf Bill. He stressed that the issue will be discussed in Parliament.
“This is legislation that will be debated in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav should refrain from engaging in debates with opposing entities. The ultimate decision will be made by Parliament,” he remarked.
The All India Muslim Personal Law Board recently protested against the Waqf Amendment Bill in Patna, where Lalu Prasad and Tejashwi Yadav openly supported the Muslim community.
Regarding the visit of Union Home Minister Amit Shah to Bihar, the Union Minister indicated that his visit is primarily focused on the BJP preparations for the upcoming Assembly elections.
“He (Amit Shah) is visiting Bihar to confer with party members and strategize for the Assembly elections,” he mentioned during a media interaction at Patna Airport on Saturday.
The Union Home Minister is set to arrive in Patna on Saturday evening and will speak at a rally in Gopalganj on Sunday.
When questioned about Rahul Gandhi’s assertion of being unable to speak in the Lok Sabha, the Union Minister took a light-hearted jab, referring to him as a “guest” in politics.
“Rahul Gandhi is a guest. He arrives as a guest and departs as a guest. He will only be permitted to speak when he prolongs his stay in Parliament,” he expressed.
In response to Congress Bihar Legislative Party leader Shakeel Ahmed labeling BJP leaders as illiterate, Lalan Singh dismissed the comments.
“It is irrelevant if such individuals speak. Their remarks carry no weight,” he concluded.
