"The land mafia is anxious about the loss of encroached properties, while the secular mafia fears losing their manufactured monopoly over Muslim votes. It almost felt like the entire country was being declared Waqf property and handed over to a few clerics. The people of India understand both the essence of the Waqf law and the vested interests of those opposing it. This unholy alliance must stay away from riots and rioters under the pretext of protest."
