The Waqf Amendment Bill also passed from the Rajya Sabha after a discussion of more than 12 hours on Thursday night. 128 votes were cast in favor of the bill and 95 in protest.
Earlier on Wednesday, this bill was passed in Lok Sabha after 12 hours of discussion. Now this bill will go to the President. This will be made after their approval.
During the discussion on the bill, Biju Janata Dal (BJD) did not issue a whip for its MPs. The party had said- MPs listen to their conscience and decide on the Waqf Bill.
BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi said during the discussion- Waqf once claimed the Taj Mahal. After this, the Supreme Court reprimanded him.
Rijiju said- Transparency, accountability, accuracy concentrated changes in law Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said that the bill prepared after extensive discussion was sent to JPC. After the JPC, the bill was passed from the Lok Sabha after discussion till late Wednesday night. In the revised bill, we have made changes focused on transparency, accountability, accuracy.
Rijiju said- If we look at the original draft of the Waqf Bill and the draft now, we have made many changes. These changes have been taken by everyone’s suggestions. Most of the people in JPC have accepted suggestions. All suggestions cannot be accepted. This is the rule of democracy, which has a majority, he forms the government.
Kharge said- I do not have an inch of Waqf land Congress President Malikarjun Kharge said that the government’s intention is not good. Who will give Waqf Land, it did not come out. Will give traders … I don’t know. Will feed people like Ambani-Adani. I would appeal to the Home Minister to withdraw it. Do not make it a prestige issue. This is not good for Muslims. Is against the constitution.
Anurag Thakur alleges that my family has Waqf land. I want to tell that I do not have even an inch of Waqf land. Anurag either prove this charge or resign.
Kharge said- not all the opposition people accepted the bill. This means it is silent in it. Whose stick is not right at all times. This is a matter of donating and taking donations. The donor can be of any religion. Instead of keeping these in mind, you have tried to snatch the rights of minorities.
Nadda said- Hope the House will support this bill In favor of the Waqf Board Bill in the Rajya Sabha, JP Nadda said that, we hope that the House will support this bill. The hope of hope (Unified Waqf Management Empowerment, Ephesions and Development) is now on expectation. When JPC was made for this bill in 2013, it had 13 members. There were 31 members in the JPC formed in the Modi government. The standard of democracy is not to obey you. The debate will be on logic.
Sanjay Raut said- Jinnah did not even worry so much of Muslims Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut said against the bill that when did you get worried about Muslims. You people call them a thief, say that Muslims will snatch your land, snatch the chain of the neck. The land of 40 thousand Kashmiri Pandits did not get back and China has occupied our land. The government should worry about that land.
BJP MP said- If Muslims do not vote for us, should they not develop BJP MP Radha Mohan Das Aggarwal expressed his views in the Rajya Sabha in favor of the bill. He said that PM Modi had said in the meeting of BJP MPs that people say that Muslims do not vote for us. No, Muslims vote for us. If Muslims do not vote for us, are they not citizens of this country. Should they not develop either? Can the dream of development of the country be realized without developing Muslims. PM Modi said this 6 months before the election.
RJD MP said-Hindu-Muslims of this country have a habit of each other RJD MP Manoj Kumar Jha said against the bill that majority is not a guarantee of freedom. Things are being searched wherever they want. Hindus of this country have a habit of Muslims. Muslims have a habit of Hindus. Do not change this habit.
Sanjay Singh said- Suggestions on the Waqf Amendment Bill should be made public AAP MP Sanjay Singh said in the opposition of the bill that this government says that they are doing good to Muslims. There is not a single Muslim in the entire government. After this bill, the work of occupying religious properties will be done. These people will give these properties to their friends. No one should be happy on this bill. Because everyone will come.
