The government was introduced afresh in the Lok Sabha today, after the recommendations of the JPC amid rhetoric and protests on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2024. Through this bill, the current Waqf law is to be changed. In such a situation, there is a possibility of uproar in Parliament today. This bill has led the political mercury of the entire country.
Explain that the Waqf Act, 1995 is not being amended for the first time. This law was also amended during the UPA government in 2013.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said, “The provisions of the Waqf Board have nothing to do with the management of a mosque, temple or religious place. It is only a matter of property management … If someone fails to understand this basic difference or does not want to understand intentionally, I have no solution to this …”.
Kiren Rijiju said, “.. The Bill is not interfering in any religious system, any religious institution or any religious practice in any way …”.
After introducing Waqf Amendment Bill in Lok SabhaParliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said, “… I want to say that the discussion on the Waqf Amendment Bill in the Joint Committee of both Houses has never happened in the parliamentary history of India till date.

Have presented their presentations … “.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said, “… I am not only hopeful, but I am sure that the hearts of those who oppose this bill will also change. Everyone will support this bill with a positive attitude …”.
Kiren Rijiju said, “A case running in Delhi since 1970 is associated with many properties including CGO Complex and Parliament House. The Delhi Waqf Board had described these properties as Waqf property. The matter was in court, but at that time the UPA government had given 123 properties to the Waqf Board and handed over the Waqf Board. Could have been claimed to be. If the PM Modi government did not come to power, many properties would have been non-obliged … ”.
On the Waqf (Amendment) Bill in the Lok Sabha, Home Minister Amit Shah said, “This bill was given to the Joint Parliamentary Committee … We do not have a Congress-like committee. We have a democratic committee, which makes thoughts. There was a Congress era in the era of the Congress that used to slap. Our committee discusses, discusses and discusses on the basis of discussion.
On the Waqf Amendment Bill, Congress MP Rajiv Shukla said, “… The opposition says that there are some provisions (Waqf Amendment Bill) which is not appropriate. A consensus should have been presented and it should have been introduced which was not consensus.”
