Srinagar, Apr 2 : National Conference (NC) MLA Abdul Majeed Larmi on Tuesday said that NC MPs will oppose the Waqf Amendment Bill during voting in Parliament, following directions from party president Omar Abdullah.

Larmi expressed confidence that other parties, including those led by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, will also oppose the bill.

"CM Omar Abdullah has already directed NC MPs to participate in the voting and oppose the Waqf Amendment Bill. I am sure that JD(U) and TDP will also stand against it," Larmi said.
