00:00The Waqf showdown that you can expect in the parliament now possible in the next 24 hours.
00:04The much-anticipated Waqf bill is set to be presented in the Lok Sabha on the 2nd of April
00:09and it marks a significant legislative development. The bill which aims to reform
00:14the administration of the Waqf properties, however, has sparked a debate. Remember,
00:18BJP is accusing some political parties and organizations of trying to create unrest,
00:23mislead the public about Waqf bill provisions as per sources.
00:26Senior BJP ministers are expected to hold discussions with India bloc leaders
00:30before the bill is presented in the parliament to ensure a smooth passage on this.
00:34But despite government assurances, as details are on your screen,
00:38opposition parties have vowed to resist the Waqf amendment bill. They are calling it a
00:43direct attack on the constitution. The Janata Dal United, an alliance partner of the BJP,
00:48has cautioned the centre against implementing the new law retrospectively,
00:52stressing that existing mosques, dargahs, and other Muslim religious sites should not be
00:58interfered with.
01:28The aim of the government is to benefit the poorest of the poor Muslims.
01:33They should be able to benefit the poorest of the poor.
01:38Can't the government see that 99.9% of Muslims in the country are opposing it?
01:46Can't the government see that the entire opposition party is standing against it?
01:51Can't the government see that Muslims are continuously protesting?
01:56Can't the government see that a Christian and a Muslim man are standing against it?
02:00Do you want to prove that the law of Waqf is right?
02:07There are so many contentious issues and opposition parties are taking it up inside
02:14parliament and outside parliament. The core purpose of this bill is to target the minority
02:23community. At this time, it is the Muslim minority. Of course, there are other issues
02:33also with Waqf property, land, and people are staying there for years together. Those things
02:39will have to be examined. Justice cannot be denied to anyone. Injustice cannot be done to anyone.
