The Waqf Amendment Bill, a significant and contentious piece of legislation, was passed in the Lok Sabha after an intense 12-hour debate.


With 288 votes in favor and 232 against, the bill is now under review in the Rajya Sabha, igniting strong reactions from political leaders, minority communities, and activists.

While the ruling party highlights the bill’s aim to streamline management of Waqf properties and ensure transparency, the opposition vehemently criticizes it as a divisive strategy targeting minority communities. Leaders across party lines, including Union Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju and Congress MP Naseer Hussain, presented clashing viewpoints during the fiery debates.

The bill’s implications are vast, with protests from various minority organizations and promises of legal action if passed. This development is set to have a far-reaching impact on the socio-political landscape of India.
