Waqf Amendment Bill: Milind Deora Says Bill Will Benefit Needy and Common Muslims

Transcript

00:00I would like to ask from this point of view, was Jivshrina Uddhav Thackeray Guttkar not in accordance with Balasaheb's principles?

00:07Look, first of all, I would like to say that today is a historic day for our secularism, for our women, for our minorities as well.

00:18The negative politics that was being done for so many decades,

00:23to use Muslims only as a vote bank, to keep them away from development.

00:30Today, I said in my speech that after 370 was removed, the Kashmiri Muslims benefited the most.

00:37And I am sure that the Waqf Amendment Bill was passed in the Lok Sabha Rajya Sabha.

00:42In a short time, a law will be made.

00:45After that, the most benefit will be given to the common, needy Muslims.

00:52As far as UBHATA is concerned, one thing is clear.

00:55The whole of Maharashtra knows that UBHATA, that is, Uddhav Thackeray's party, is a Hindu anti-party.

01:04And today, the way a progressive legislator, who is in the interest of Muslims,

01:11the way he did politics, I can clearly say today, with confidence,

01:18that he is not only a Hindu anti-party, but also a Muslim anti-party.

01:21Sir, the people in the opposition say that the bill has been passed here, but they will definitely challenge it in the Supreme Court.

01:29Look, every party has the right to go to court, to go to court against any law.

01:36This is their constitutional right.

01:38The court ultimately decided.

01:40Even when 370 was removed, people went to the Supreme Court.

01:45The Supreme Court gave its verdict.

01:47So, I am sure that the way the Lok Tantrik process was followed regarding the Waqf Bill,

01:54the bill was first presented, the cabinet cleared it, then it was presented in the Parliament.

02:01After that, for so many hours, a JPC, through the Joint Parliamentary Committee,

02:07there was a discussion on this, a debate.

02:09After that, it came to the Parliament.

02:11After that, for so many hours, there was a discussion in the Lok Sabha, in the Rajya Sabha.

02:14In a way, there was a positive discussion.

02:16So, we have completely followed the Lok Tantrik process.

02:21And that is why I am sure that no matter which court we go to,

02:25the court will reaffirm the process that we have followed.
