The Lok Sabha has passed the Waqf Amendment Bill, paving the way for crucial changes in waqf property regulations. The bill, spearheaded by Home Minister Amit Shah, seeks to streamline waqf-related land disputes, improve transparency, and prevent unauthorized claims over properties. The government has emphasized that the amendments will ensure better governance of waqf assets while addressing concerns related to encroachments and illegal transfers.The bill will now be presented in the Rajya Sabha, where a heated debate is expected, with opposition parties raising concerns over possible implications for religious communities. Amit Shah defended the bill, stating that it aims to bring uniformity and efficiency in the management of waqf properties without compromising community rights. The ruling party has termed the amendments necessary for modernization and accountability in waqf administration.With strong political reactions from various quarters, the Waqf Amendment Bill remains a crucial legislative move. The final decision in the Rajya Sabha will determine its implementation, impacting waqf institutions across the country.

00:00First of all, I would like to take you to Mr. Pradeep Bhandari.
00:02Mr. Pradeep, since the bill has been passed by the Lok Sabha,
00:06would you like to start with a congratulatory speech?
00:08And even now, if there is still a doubt in someone's mind,
00:12what would you like to say to resolve it?
00:13Mr. Pradeep Bhandari.
00:18Look, first of all, it is very historic that the bill has been passed by the Lok Sabha.
00:23And we are hopeful that this bill will be passed by the Rajya Sabha as well.
00:26This Waqf Amendment Bill is not a matter of Hindus and Muslims, Mr. Romana.
00:30The point is simply that the right to justice in this country
00:34should be given to the poor and the deprived,
00:35whether they are Hindus, Muslims or Christians.
00:38We have made a basic fundamental change,
00:41that if in any law, the legislation,
00:43the way the government's legislation can be challenged in the court,
00:47in the same way, the decision of the Waqf Tribunal
00:52can be challenged in the court,
00:54whether it is the Civil Court, Revenue Court or the High Court.
00:56But I will say one big thing.
00:58I am very hurt by the fact that due to the encroachment of the Waqf Board,
01:02many Christian families are suffering in Kerala.
01:05Christian families are suffering in Munabbam,
01:07Christian families are suffering in Chavakkad,
01:09Christian families are suffering in Ernakulam,
01:11Christian families are suffering in Wayanad.
01:13Rahul Gandhi has been an MP from Kerala in the past,
01:16and now Priyanka Vadra is an MP from Kerala.
01:18If these people talk about minorities,
01:20then neither Rahul Gandhi nor Priyanka Vadra
01:23said a single word about the Christian families suffering in Kerala in the Lok Sabha.
01:29They tweet every other hour.
01:31What kind of a statement is this,
01:32that in front of everyone,
01:34the Christian families suffering in Kerala,
01:36who are suffering due to the encroachment of the Waqf Board,
01:39the cases that have been going on for 10 years,
01:41Rahul Gandhi calls himself the messiah of minorities,
01:44then why didn't he talk about the Christian society,
01:46which is suffering in Kerala,
01:47the Christian Church Bishop Council,
01:49then talk about open support.
01:51This shows that the Kerala Christian community is completely upset with Rahul Gandhi.
01:56This is very wrong.
01:57Ajay Upadhyay ji, you have heard the allegations,
01:59and yesterday, the way the discussion was going on in the Sadan,
02:01the BJP leaders were repeatedly repeating the same thing,
02:04that there is no objection to the 1995 Waqf Act,
02:08but this was the Lok Sabha elections in 2014,
02:11and before that, in 2013,
02:12the kind of reformation they did,
02:15means, your government,
02:17the government of UPA,
02:18under the leadership of Congress,
02:19the kind of reformation they did,
02:21that is why it was necessary to make this change.
02:24First of all, the cases that Pradeep Bhandari has counted,
02:27there are also minorities there,
02:28their pain and suffering is not visible.
02:30And on the other hand, the BJP that is constantly saying,
02:33that in the name of Muslim Tushtikaran,
02:35the Waqf has been given so much power,
02:37by the previous UPS government,
02:39that the land on which the Waqf is placed,
02:41will become the Waqf.
02:42Even the land of the new Sunset Bhawan,
02:45that too would have been taken by the Waqf.
02:46Ajay ji.
02:48This whole lie,
02:50this whole lie,
02:51and this whole agenda of spreading delusion of the BJP,
02:55is a try to do what is not possible in the Shahi and Lok Tantra.
03:00The whole history will be remembered as a black day.
03:02The time will come, and there will be discussions on this too.
03:05As far as the minorities are concerned,
03:07the people who are becoming messiahs,
03:09who are talking here for a long time,
03:10many Hindus of the society,
03:12at least take care of a few things.
03:14Today, your friend has increased the tariff,
03:17the Americans have increased it.
03:18There is no discussion on that.
03:2010-11%,
03:21the country's debt has increased by 3 months,
03:23there is no discussion on that.
03:25There is a lot of concern of Muslims and Christians,
03:28for the people of the BJP.
03:29Everyone knows the truth,
03:31but there is one thing for sure,
03:32the bill that was passed in the Lok Sabha yesterday,
03:35in that, the government's,
03:36the poll of the majority,
03:39it was clearly seen,
03:41that only 16 seats are more than the simple majority.
03:44The government is going to run on the support of the BJP,
03:48and definitely, in the coming time,
03:50this illusion will also break.
03:51The way this government is being suppressed,
03:54it will definitely be destroyed.
03:56The people of the country will bless it and finish it.
03:59As far as the JDU, TDP, RLD and LGP are concerned,
04:03the BJP has ruined their politics.
04:06In the coming time,
04:07they will neither stay at home, nor at home.
04:09And the people of this country are seeing,
04:11that how you have,
04:13in the name of majority,
04:15and in the name of politics,
04:17you have tried to make a large group,
04:19laughable in this country.
04:21But we are seeing it.
04:23I feel that,
04:25the issue that we are sitting here to discuss,
04:28that amendment bill,
04:29the one that was passed in the Lok Sabha yesterday,
04:31will come in the Rajya Sabha today.
04:33While trying to avoid that,
04:34Muslims and Christians are talking about Hindus,
04:37and somehow,
04:38they are reaching the Trump tariff.
04:40One minute, one minute, one minute.
04:41I have a lot of guests in the studio.
04:43I want to take a quick reaction from everyone.
04:45After that, I will come back to you both.
04:47I will come back to Adesh.
04:48But Adesh, the certificate that was distributed here,
04:51by the Congress spokesman,
04:52that sir, you take TDP,
04:54you take JDU,
04:55the BJP has ruined their politics.
04:57I mean,
04:58the Congress party is not able to understand,
05:00what is happening,
05:01how the politics of the country is changing.
05:03No, they are able to understand.
05:05Look, it is true that,
05:06the amendments that the TDP,
05:08the BJP,
05:09the JDU,
05:10and the LJP,
05:11the government has included all of them.
05:12And has given a pay saving to all three parties.
05:14Because,
05:15at the end of this year,
05:16there is an election in Bihar.
05:17And,
05:18for the LJP and the JDU,
05:19the elections are very important.
05:20I feel that,
05:21whatever suggestions they had,
05:22they have collected them.
05:23But,
05:24if I look at this bill,
05:25from a political point of view,
05:26I feel that,
05:27after one year,
05:29India Alliance has been shown to be united.
05:31The number 240 that came,
05:32230 votes have been cast against them.
05:35You will see,
05:36in this entire year,
05:37when Haryana election was held,
05:38Delhi election was held,
05:39Maharashtra election was held,
05:40in this,
05:41India Alliance was seen to be scattered.
05:43Inside the parliament,
05:44and outside the parliament.
05:45But, for the first time,
05:46I am seeing that,
05:47in the last one year,
05:48this India Alliance,
05:49has been shown to be united.
05:50I feel that,
05:51this,
05:52in this matter,
05:53has definitely happened.
05:54Politically.
05:55But,
05:56on the issue of this bill,
05:57everyone knew what happened.
06:07AAPKO RAKHE AGE.
