Waqf Amendment Bill Hits Lok Sabha Today—Will It Spark New Controversy | ABP News
Thursday’s parliamentary session is expected to be highly contentious, with the government likely to introduce a bill to amend the Waqf Act. Both the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha are anticipated to see significant disruptions, as several parties, including the Samajwadi Party, have already expressed strong opposition. The Waqf (Amendment) Bill proposes renaming the Waqf Act, 1995, to the ‘Unified Waqf Management, Empowerment, Efficiency, and Development Act, 1995’. It was distributed to Lok Sabha members on Tuesday night before its introduction. The bill aims to remove Section 40 of the current law, which grants the board the authority to determine whether a property is classified as Waqf property. This proposal has sparked considerable debate and resistance among various political factions.
