The Rajya Sabha has passed the Waqf Amendment Bill with 128 votes in favor and 95 against. Earlier, the Lok Sabha approved the bill after a 12-hour debate, with 288 votes supporting it and 232 opposing. Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju introduced the bill, saying it aims to improve transparency. The opposition raised concerns about its impact but failed to pass any amendments. The discussion in Rajya Sabha started after the Question Hour. With the Budget Session ending on April 4, this was a crucial decision. The bill now moves forward for implementation. (PC: PTI)
