Tripura's minister for Welfare of Scheduled Castes, Sudhangshu Das, has sparked controversy with his comment that if Muslims have Wakf Board, Hindus should be entitled to have 'Sanatan Board'. Other communities like Christians and Sikhs should have their separate boards, he said in a social media post, adding that unless that happens, all such boards should be cancelled.
In a post from his official Facebook handle, Sudhangshu Das wrote, "This country is a secular and democratic country as per the Indian Constitution, where all citizens have equal rights".
"So, if Muslims have Wakf Board, then there should be Sanatan Board for Hindus, separate boards should be given for Christians, Sikhs and all other religions, or else (such boards) for all religions should be cancelled and equal rights for all citizens should be introduced," read a rough translation of his Bengali post.
