Waqf Amendment Bill introduced in Lok Sabha, Rijiju claims opposition leaders support it privately
New Delhi: Union Minister Kiren Rijiju introduced the Waqf Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, asserting that several opposition MPs privately supported the bill despite their parties' official stance against it.
Rijiju accused opposition leaders of opposing the bill for political reasons, alleging that some religious leaders were misleading Muslims about its implications. "Many Congress leaders and opposition parties privately say this bill is needed, but they oppose it for vote bank politics," he told reporters.
He also compared the situation to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), claiming that similar misinformation had been spread earlier. "The same people said that CAA would strip Muslims of their citizenship, but nothing like that happened," he added.
Rijiju emphasised that the bill was in the national interest and aimed at benefiting the entire country, particularly women and children. "Any work in the national interest, especially for the welfare of women and children, will not be compromised," he said.
Both the BJP and Congress issued whips to their MPs, ensuring their presence in the House during the discussion. An eight-hour debate on the bill has been scheduled, with the possibility of an extension.
The opposition has strongly criticised the bill and the introduction of the bill has triggered a heated debate in Parliament.
