The Lok Sabha is voting on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill after Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju concluded his remarks. The bill has sparked strong opposition, with INDIA bloc parties calling it "unconstitutional." NDA allies, including TDP and JD(U), have issued whips supporting the bill. MP NK Premachandran proposed an amendment allowing non-Muslims on Waqf boards. Rijiju defended the government, stating, “No place is safer for minorities than India.” The bill will move to the Rajya Sabha next, with both Houses allotted eight hours for debate. The final outcome of the Lok Sabha vote is awaited. (PC: India Today)
