Lok Sabha 2024 LIVE | Parliament Session LIVE | Waqf Bill In Lok Sabha LIVE | BJP vs Congress | N18L
Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Thursday dismissed allegations of opposition related to the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, saying that the BJP-led government will fight for the rights of those who never got justice.
“Forget about snatching anybody’s right. We in this bill are trying to bring justice for those who never got justice, and we will fight for their rights. The amendment to the Bill has not happened for the first time ever since independence multiple times have been amended,” he said.
From giving the government a big say in regulating waqf properties, redefining how a property is deemed to be in the possession of waqf to changing the composition of waqf boards in states, the Centre is set to bring in key amendments to overhaul the regulatory framework of Muslim charitable endowments.
The Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, which seeks to amend the Waqf Act, 1995, proposes to allow even a non-Muslim Chief Executive Officer and at least two non-Muslim members to be appointed by the state government to the waqf boards at the state level.
