Expressing concern, he stated that some councilors and Hill Council officials in Kargil have openly admitted that funds are being allocated only to their supporters.

Additionally, he condemned the Waqf Bill and called for protests against it, stating that if the bill is passed, people will take to the streets in opposition.

Sheikh Lufti also strongly condemned the recent riots in Nagpur and demanded justice from the government for the atrocities committed against Muslims.

He appealed to parents to pay special attention to the upbringing of their children and keep a close watch on them to protect them from harmful elements like drugs.
