The Waqf Amendment Bill, which was passed in the Lok Sabha after intense discussions lasting 12 hours, is now set to be presented in the Rajya Sabha today. The debate will begin at 1:00 PM, with eight hours allocated for discussion, although this may be extended. Once passed by both houses, the bill will be sent to the President for approval before becoming law. In anticipation of potential protests and unrest, particularly in the Jamia area of Delhi, heightened security measures have been implemented. The area around the Jamia Masjid has seen increased deployment of paramilitary forces and police. Markets surrounding the mosque have been barricaded to prevent any large gatherings or disturbances. This is in response to the tensions surrounding the Waqf Amendment Bill, with opposition parties raising concerns over its implications for religious minorities. The government's swift passage of the bill in the Lok Sabha and its impending presentation in the Rajya Sabha have led to protests and strong opposition, particularly from Congress leaders, who claim the bill is unconstitutional and part of a broader strategy to polarize the nation. ABP News continues to monitor the developments closely.
