New Delhi: Lok Sabha On Wednesday, the Waqf (Amendment) Bill was passed after a fierce discussion for more than 12 hours, in which the government fought the opposition’s allegations of encroachment on the constitutional and Muslim rights And attacked federalism with a strong defense of changes in the Act that controls Islamic settlements.
The bill was adopted in favor of 288 votes and against 232, thanks to the support of the BJP’s ‘secular’ allies, which helped more than the party’s own numbers and a majority mark. The BJP, in any case, was always confident of being prevalent in the competition and its confidence came clearly in the fisties of Home Minister Amit Shah “You only made changes to retain your vote bank, and we have decided to cancel it” announcement.
The bill is expected to comfortably clean the number test in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday. Although the debate in the LS-now followed the ‘secular vs. communal’ trajectory, the smooth route of the bill marked a significant turn. The Citizenship (Amendment) Act is coming after the enactment of the Act, which was allegedly marked as the fourth example of the passage of the Waqf Bill, based on the criminalization of the triple talaq, criminalization of Triple Talak and the enactment of the Uniform Civil Code in Uttarakhand, where the BJP Gawat has made its way despite the combination resistance of muscle outfits.
In fact, the latest success matters even more because it was pulled out with the support of the majority in the BJP and with the support of the ‘secular’ colleagues, which seems so, is convinced to not end the loser people – something that may be more than the assessment that any loss of Muslim support will be more than the benefits of the BJP.
Shah’s intervention came during the day -long debate, in which there was a terrible exchange between the two sides, in which it was alleged with the deputy leader of the Congress in LS Gaurav Gogoi that the bill was an attempt to attack the original structure of the Constitution, discredit minorities, reject and divide society. In his initial comments, Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju dismissed the allegation that the proposed law was an interference in constitutionally guaranteed freedom in religious matters.
