Breaking News: Security Tightened in Multiple Cities Amid Waqf Bill Protests and Friday Prayers | ABP NEWS

After passing the Waqf Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha, the Modi government has successfully cleared it in the Rajya Sabha as well. The bill was approved with 128 votes in favor and 95 against, following a marathon 12-hour debate that involved intense discussions between the ruling party and the opposition. The bill now awaits the President’s approval, and once signed, it will become law. The session in the Rajya Sabha saw heated exchanges, with both sides presenting strong arguments and evidence. After the debate, voting took place late last night, lasting about 90 minutes. The BJP’s ally parties played a crucial role in ensuring the bill’s passage, providing full support to the government. Security measures have been heightened across several cities, including Lucknow, Murdabad, Firozabad, and Jhansi, due to the sensitive nature of the bill and ongoing protests. Friday prayers, attended by many from the Muslim community, have also been a concern, prompting precautionary measures by the police. Meanwhile, political discourse has intensified, with references to past events, including Gujarat riots, and ongoing tensions between different political leaders, making this a highly charged moment in Indian politics.
