Congress leader Imran Masood has voiced strong opposition to the Waqf Amendment Bill, stating that the bill is a blatant violation of constitutional principles. Speaking ahead of the parliamentary discussion, Masood said he is prepared to debate the bill in the House but firmly believes that it undermines the rights of minorities.According to Masood, the amendments proposed in the bill are an attempt to weaken the Waqf system and could lead to increased government intervention in the management of Waqf properties. He alleged that the move is not just a legal reform but a direct attack on the fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution.The Waqf Amendment Bill is set to be presented in the Lok Sabha today by Union Minister Kiren Rijiju, with a heated debate expected. Opposition parties, including the Congress, have already expressed their firm resistance, arguing that the bill is politically motivated and targets Muslim institutions. With tensions rising, the parliamentary session is likely to witness significant disruptions and protests.

00:27Look, he is not doing this. This is a different matter.
00:30But this is the biggest attack on Muslims.
00:33This is the preparation to destroy the property of Muslims.
00:36And he is saying that we have changed the Waqf-e-Sanshodhan.
00:40I have the documents.
00:41He is directly saying that they have put a condition in the Waqf-e-Sanshodhan that
00:45the property that will be disputed or the property that will be taken over by the government,
00:50the Waqf-e-Sanshodhan will not be applicable on that property.
00:53And after the dispute, that property will be transferred to the designated officer to listen.
00:59He will decide.
01:00And when will he decide? There is no time limit for this.
01:03The biggest example of this is Uttar Pradesh.
01:05In Uttar Pradesh, out of 14,500 hectares of land,
01:0811,500 hectares of land has been declared as government property.
01:1278% of the properties.
01:14So you have confused us by targeting us.
01:18And you are saying that you have done it for Muslims.
01:21You have done it for Muslims.
01:23You are doing a job of giving protection to the criminals.
01:26There will be non-Muslims in this.
01:28Whereas, there are no non-Muslims in any board.
01:30And in this, majority will be non-Muslims.
01:32In this, majority will also be non-Muslims.
01:35So why are you doing this atrocity with us?
01:37And this atrocity is happening.
01:38And you are watching the drama.
01:39You are standing with it.
01:41So the Muslims will not forgive.
01:42Sir, you are saying that atrocity is happening.
01:44And the ruling party is saying that this will stop encroachment for the good.
01:47The mafias will be stopped.
01:48You people, who are the opposition, are doing the job of provoking people.
01:52I am provoking.
01:52This is a document.
01:53I am not provoking.
01:54This is a document.
01:55It is written clearly in it.
01:57It is written clearly in it.
01:59That the users of Waqf-e-Jadid who are saying that they will stop it.
02:02It is written in it.
02:03The users of Waqf-e-Jadid will remain in the form of Waqf property.
02:07Except that the property is complete or part of it.
02:10It is controversial.
02:11Or it is a government property.
02:13So you tell me.
02:13When you are saying this in your own words.
02:16Then where are you protecting us?
02:18You are occupying.
02:19You are destroying our property.
02:20What is the further action?
02:22This is atrocity.
02:22We will fight.
02:24We will go to the court.
02:25This is section 14 of the constitution.
02:28Section 16.
02:29Section 25.
02:30Section 26.
02:30Directly and indirectly.
02:32There can be no overlapping.
02:33This is overlapping.
02:35Then we will go to the court.
02:36If you are forcibly doing it.
