On April 2, 2025, the Lok Sabha passed the Waqf (Amendment) Bill after a 12-hour heated debate, with 288 votes in favor and 232 against. The bill aims to streamline the administration of Waqf properties, ensuring transparency and better governance. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju defended the legislation, stating it would protect poor Muslims and prevent land misuse. However, opposition leaders called it unconstitutional, alleging it could curb minority rights. The bill now moves to the Rajya Sabha, where eight hours have been allocated for further discussion, potentially setting the stage for more political confrontation. (PC: ANI)
