The Waqf Amendment Bill is set to be introduced in the Lok Sabha today by Union Minister for Minority Affairs and Parliamentary Affairs, Kiren Rijiju, at 12 PM. The government plans to hold extensive discussions before pushing for its passage. The bill aims to bring reforms to the management and regulation of Waqf properties, a subject that has sparked significant political debate.After its approval in the Lok Sabha, the bill will be tabled in the Rajya Sabha, where an eight-hour discussion is scheduled. Alongside the Waqf Amendment Bill, the Muslim Waqf Repeal Bill 2024 will also be debated. The opposition has strongly criticized the proposed amendments, arguing that they could impact the rights of Waqf properties and minority communities.Given the opposition’s firm stance, intense debates and disruptions are expected in Parliament today. Opposition parties have accused the government of trying to alter key provisions related to Waqf management without adequate consultation. Meanwhile, the ruling party and its allies have issued a three-line whip to ensure full attendance for voting. As the session unfolds, all eyes will be on the heated discussions surrounding this controversial legislation.

03:08And the thoughts of the politicians regarding the Waqf-e-Sanshodhan Bill are being expressed through their speeches.
03:12But what is the public thinking?
03:14It is important to know their side as well.
03:16That is why, before the Waqf-e-Sanshodhan Bill is presented in the Lok Sabha,
03:19I will take you among the people.
03:21And especially among the Muslim community.
03:23We will take you.
03:25And let's try to understand that in the end,
03:27the Muslim community,
03:29about whom the government is saying
03:31that for their own benefit,
03:34the Waqf-e-Sanshodhan Bill is being brought by the government,
03:36what is their thinking about this Bill?
03:38What is going on in their minds?
03:40How much do they agree?
03:42How much do they disagree?
03:44Let's start with this Waqf-e-Sanshodhan Bill.
03:46First of all,
03:48Delhi, Rajasthani Delhi,
03:50the heart of the country, Delhi,
03:52and the Jama Masjid area of Delhi.
03:54Let's understand,
03:56when the decision will be made on Waqf-e-Sanshodhan Bill,
03:58then what will be the feelings of the Muslim community?
04:00What will be the thinking of the Muslim community?
04:02We will take you to the ground.
04:04We have come to the Jama Masjid to know
04:06what the people think about the Waqf-e-Sanshodhan Bill.
04:08Sir, the government is presenting
04:10the Waqf-e-Sanshodhan Bill.
04:12According to you,
04:14what do you think about the Waqf-e-Sanshodhan Bill?
04:16Sir, in the Waqf-e-Sanshodhan Bill,
04:18the new law brought by the government,
04:20as far as I understand,
04:22the Waqf-e-Sanshodhan Bill,
04:24the Waqf-e-Sanshodhan Board,
04:26is made for the Muslim community.
04:28And in this,
04:30the government has announced
04:32that people from other communities
04:34will also come to this committee.
04:36So, when the government
04:38has made the Waqf-e-Sanshodhan Board
04:40for the Muslims,
04:42then why will people from other communities
04:44participate in it?
04:46If they do,
04:48then their thinking
04:50will create problems.
04:52Apart from this,
04:54in the court that they have announced,
04:56in the first tribunal,
04:58they used to be members of the Muslim community.
05:00Now, they have announced it for the minorities.
05:02In my opinion, that is also wrong.
05:04If this happens,
05:06then it will cause a lot of harm
05:08to the Muslim community.
05:10According to you,
05:12what do you think?
05:14The new bill brought by the government
05:16is completely wrong.
05:18The amendments that are being implemented
05:20are harmful
05:22to the minority community
05:24in the future.
05:26If the government says
05:28that we will take care of it,
05:30then it will be the same.
05:32The government will do whatever it wants.
05:34According to me, this is wrong.
05:36This is wrong.
05:38This is wrong.
05:40The government should do
05:42whatever it wants.
05:44This is wrong.
05:46This is wrong.
05:48This is wrong.
05:52The Waqf-e-Sanshodhan Bill
05:54is about to come.
05:56What is the Muslim community
05:58thinking about this bill?
06:02We would like to talk to
06:04the people present here
06:06about the Waqf-e-Sanshodhan Bill.
06:08What do you think?
06:10Was this a demand of the time
06:12or was it someone else's wish?
06:14The Waqf-e-Sanshodhan Bill
06:16is a political issue.
06:18The government and the government
06:20and the Supreme Court
06:22don't care.
06:24We don't care.
06:26We want to live our lives.
06:28We want to earn our livelihood.
06:30What do we care about our livelihood?
06:32Everything is based on politics.
06:34Ten years ago,
06:36everything was not like this.
06:38Now, everything is based on politics.
06:42The Waqf-e-Sanshodhan Bill
06:44is in front of you.
06:46You don't have to say anything about it.
06:48But the constitution doesn't allow it.
