New Delhi. Discussion on the Waqf Amendment Bill is going on in the Lok Sabha. There is a debate between the ruling party and the opposition MPs. The parties are presenting their residues regarding the bill. At the same time, as already cleared, BJP’s ally Telugu Desam Party and Janata Dal United have also supported the Waqf Amendment Bill. TDP MP from Andhra Pradesh Krishna Prasad Tenteti said, the role of TDP in shaping the bill shows our commitment to Muslim and minority welfare. Ensuring the welfare of minorities since the formation of our party has always been the top priority.
The TDP MP said that Waqf properties can help improve the lives of Muslims. The three changes suggested by the TDP are included in the bill. He also says that Muslims are an important part of the society and should be protected. Tenteti said that in view of TDP’s commitment to minority rights, the state governments should be given some exemption in deciding the structure of Waqf boards in preparing the rules.

At the same time, JDU MP and Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan alias Lalan Singh said, “From the beginning, an attempt has been made to create such an atmosphere regarding the Waqf (Amendment) Bill that this bill is anti -Muslim.” This Narrator is not already being made before going to JPC, not since today, but since this bill has been introduced in this House. Efforts are being made to mislead the entire country, claiming that this bill is against Muslims. But is it really against Muslims? No way. What is Waqf? Is it an institution of Muslims? No, Waqf is a kind of trust designed to work for the welfare of Muslims. That trust should have this right, they should do justice to every section of the Muslim community, which is not happening.
