The Lok Sabha passed the Bill with a 288-232 vote in the small hours of Thursday after about 12 hours of debate.

Tabling the Bill in the Upper House, Inspected and re-drafted by a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC),

The government proposes to rename the Waqf Bill as Bound together Waqf Administration Strengthening, Effectiveness and Advancement (UMEED) Bill.

The Bill was previously displayed in the Lok Sabha in Admirable of final year and a Joint Parliamentary Committee, headed by the BJP part Jagdambika, inspected it.

The Bill looks forward to correcting the Act of 1995. Furthermore, the Bill points to overcoming the deficiencies of the past act and upgrading the productivity of Waqf sheets.

Moving forward with the enlistment handle, and expanding the role of innovation in overseeing Waqf records

Confrontation in Rajya Sabha

The confrontation began with the Pioneer of Restriction in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, assaulting Anurag Thakur for heaving a “wild Bill” at him, and challenged the BJP MP to demonstrate the charges or else resign.

Referring “The government has presented the Bill with great deliberate, and in this way renamed it as ‘UMEED’. No one ought to have any issue with the title,” he added.

However, the wrangle started in the Rajya Sabha, Uttar Pradesh Congress President Ajay Rai on Thursday hammered the government over the entry of the Waqf (Revision) Charge, calling it a “rushed choice” made without consulting the resistance. Rai charged the government with acting “subjectively and deceiving the public”.

“The Waqf bill has brought in a flurry. The government has done everything it needed without tuning in to the resistance. They made guarantees to deceive the individuals, but none of them have been satisfied,” he said. Taking a bow at Union Domestic Servant Amit Shah, Rai said, “The BJP has a lion’s share and is doing anything it wants. Be it demonetization, GST, or the Waqf Charge, the government is making choices singularly, neglecting the concerns of the people.”

Congress MP Syed Naseer Hussain

On Thursday named the Waqf Bill illegal and affirmed that it targets the Muslim community, indeed as he charged the BJP with utilizing the proposed enactment to trigger communal pressure and polarization in the society in arrange to reinforce its vote bank. As a result, starting a dialogue on the Bill in the Rajya Sabha, Hussain blamed the administering Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for attempting to delude the nation, and recommendations made by resistance individuals to the joint parliamentary committee (JPC) formed to investigate the Charge were included in it.
