Speaking to ANI on Thursday, the Member of Lok Sabha from Thane said, "The committee has been formed to discuss the amendment bill. One should put forward his views peacefully there. But by creating a ruckus, the opposition people are doing politics in front of the people. Today there will be a discussion about many departments and how their land was encroached upon... Let's see what happens."
He further stated that the bill would benefit the poor as well as Muslim women.
"They (the opposition) are saying that this amendment bill is against Muslims. This bill is going to benefit the women and poor in the Muslim community," he added.

"Congress has always spread hate... Till now, they have done politics of hate. They play politics by dividing religions and caste. When elections happened in Maharashtra, they misled people by saying that the constitution was not safe... Congress is surviving in the country by doing such kind of politics," Mhaske added.
Congress MP K Suresh said, "There is a strong objection to this bill from various Muslim organisations in Kerala. They are demanding the withdrawal of this bill. More than 25 organisations came to us and submitted their proposals and amendments. So I took their memorandum and handed it over to the JPC chairman to consider their observation."
