The WAQF Amendment Act led to a storm in Lok Sabha during showdown between OPPN Centers. Here are the key points

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju’s enumeration of the WAQF amendment led to a showdown between the NDA and Lok Sabha’s opposition. The bill aims to improve management of WAQF properties, introduce technology-driven management, address complexity and ensure transparency.

Rijiju said in the introduction of the bill that the consulting process of the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) was the largest movement ever conducted by a parliamentary group in the history of India’s democracy.

Here are the key highlights of the debate on the WAQF Act:

Opposition launches attack
Even before the controversial bill was proposed, Congress began protesting the bill. Debate on the bill began with Congress leader KC Venugopal, who opposed the bill, saying the center was “selling legislation.”

“This type of bill (the WAQF Amendment) is something you bring into the House, at least the members must have the right to give the amendment… You are selling legislation. It’s this kind of legislation. You need to take the time to make amendments. There are several provisions to make amendments. There are no time.

Amit Shah intervenes

To this, Union minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah dismissed the opposition to the bill, saying, “…It was your (opposition) insight that a Joint Parliamentary Committee should be formed. We do not have a committee like the Congress. We have a democratic committee, which brainstorms,” ​​he said.”‘Congress ke zamane mein committee hoti jo thappa lagati thi’. Our committee discusses, deliberates on the basis of discussing and making changes. He said.

Om Birla assured members of Congress

During the showdown, Speaker Om Birla assured that the amendment to the government and opposition was balanced with him.

Rijiju’s speech

The lawsuit continues with Rijiju’s firm reply to the opposition.
