The Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, will be introduced in the Lok Sabha today, sparking a heated debate between the NDA and the INDIA bloc. The bill aims to amend the 1995 Waqf Act to improve waqf property management but faces opposition for proposed changes, including the inclusion of non-Muslims in waqf boards. Opposition parties argue the bill centralizes control and undermines Muslim institutions. The Business Advisory Committee allocated 8 hours for debate, but the INDIA bloc demanded 12. With the NDA holding a majority, the bill is expected to pass despite strong resistance. (PC: India Today)
