The central government is set to present the Waqf Amendment Bill 2024 in the Lok Sabha today, April 2, with Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju leading the discussion. The bill, which proposes nearly 40 changes to the existing Waqf Act, aims to enhance efficiency, empower communities, and bring structural reforms. A significant amendment under consideration is the inclusion of non-Muslims in the Waqf Board, alongside increased government oversight. Opposition parties under the INDIA bloc have united against the bill, calling it unconstitutional and detrimental to the Muslim community’s interests. They have announced strong opposition but ruled out a walkout. The bill, initially introduced last year, was sent to a Joint Parliamentary Committee for review. The debate over the bill is expected to be intense, with opposition leaders contesting the government’s stance. The discussion and potential approval will serve as a display of the NDA’s parliamentary strength under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.

00:00Let's talk about Shams Adab. He is ready to fight a lawful war.
00:04Absolutely right. I agree that everyone has the right to fight a lawful war.
00:08Lawful war should be fought.
00:10As much as they have the right, but it should be within limits.
00:14The statements you are making, we will turn it into a Shaheen Bagh.
00:19Sit down and protest.
00:21Won't the Muslims be misguided by this?
00:23No, no, I am telling you, no one is being misguided. Muslims have become sensible now.
00:26They said to wear a black belt, but no one did.
00:28Now I am saying something else. We are saying that everyone has to reach power.
00:32On the way to power, because the opposition itself is weak.
00:36They think that Congress cannot protest, so they should protest in the name of Muslims.
00:40Sapa, Baspa, Sapa, Aam Aadmi Party, and the other parties have become weak.
00:46They think that they should do politics on the shoulders of the Muslims,
00:49burn the country, maybe the way to power can be found from here.
00:52I am making such a request.
00:54The sensible Muslims are not going to fall into their traps.
00:57Because they know that Amit Shah has given statements to the mosques and madrasas in the parliament.
01:02No one is being misguided. I am completing my point.
01:04Romana, Romana, I am completing my point. I am making a request.
01:09Give me 5 seconds.
01:10Romana, I am completing my point.
01:12Sir, 30 seconds. There are guests waiting outside.
01:14I am just saying this.
01:16If there is an argument with the government's property,
01:20if there is a fight, if there is a fire,
01:22or if there is an attempt to burn the country,
01:24then I request you to be ready for this.
01:27The table can turn red at any time.
01:29Be alert.
01:31I am talking to those who are talking about burning the country,
01:34who are talking about burning the country,
01:36who are saying that they will throw a river.
01:39You will not tolerate this.
01:40You can revolt. Most welcome.
01:42You can revolt. Most welcome.
01:43You can revolt. We want the Supreme Court to be careful.
01:46We are not talking about burning the country.
01:48We are not talking about burning the country.
01:49The BJP came to burn Gujarat.
01:51The BJP came to burn Muzaffarnagar.
01:53The BJP came to burn Sambhar.
01:55Who comes to burn the country?
01:57Does a BJP come to burn a city?
01:59We don't come. We burn the ground.
02:01That is why we want riots.
02:03This is the history of this country.
02:04As soon as the BJP comes to burn the country,
02:06who comes to burn it?
02:08All the great BJP leaders came to burn the country.
02:10That is why you came to burn the country.
02:13And there is no need to praise the government.
02:46You said the wrong thing.
02:47You opposed the government.
02:48But what you said here,
02:50this message is not reaching the Muslims.
02:53I don't think they should have used this language
02:56on national television or not.
02:58The way Shadab Shams has used his tongue here,
03:01that everything will be red.
03:03Did you feel good after hearing this?
03:05What is he trying to say?
03:06If they burn the country, what should we do?
03:08Who is burning the country?
03:10The opposition is burning.
03:11The Muslims are burning.
03:12Who are you talking to?
03:13Who are you talking to?
03:14Those people who are doing hooliganism.
03:16And they are saying, we welcomed you.
03:18Go to the court.
03:19Welcome.
03:20Oppose.
03:21With democratic system.
03:22But they will say, we will burn the country.
03:24Right now, everything is being done in a democratic way.
03:26Okay, Nazir sahib, come.
03:28Shadab sahib, listen to me.
03:30Shadab sahib, listen to me.
03:32Shadab sahib, Shadab sahib.
03:34The statement of burning the country has not come from anywhere.
03:37Why?
03:38But you first gave the statement of organizing.
03:40One second, one second.
03:41Yes, Nazir sahib, come.
03:43Listen to me.
03:44Listen to me.
03:45Listen to me.
03:46You are talking about burning the country.
03:47Listen to me.
03:48Your stomach will start aching.
03:49What are you doing?
03:50What are you doing?
03:51Look, I remember Abul Kalam Azad sahib's statement.
03:53Who says, O Muslims of India.
03:55Don't go anywhere.
03:57Because the decisions of India's better future cannot be without you.
04:01So, we stopped here.
04:03Because we knew that the decisions of India's better future are incomplete without us.
04:07But listen to me.
04:09The way you said it.
04:11Brother, you are threatening us.
04:13Brother, we are residing in the constitution.
04:15But you, you have threatened us on air.
04:19Brother, you are talking about creating riots.
04:21You are talking about burning the country.
04:23But you are trying to make us angry.
04:26Brother, you are sitting with this city.
04:29Stop it.
04:30Brother, these people belong to another country.
04:33In this country, we have a fundamental right.
04:37We can protest for our constitution.
04:41Brother, we can protest for our constitution.
04:43We can protest for our constitution.
04:45Brother, we can protest for our constitution.
04:47Listen to me.
04:49If the British government was not in our country,
04:53the British government would never run away.
04:55We are on the streets, we are just people.
04:57We will run the country.
04:59We will run the country.
05:01But today, you're talking against us.
05:03You are not respecting the law.
05:05The way you are talking today,
05:07your face is exposed.
05:09What kind of a person are you?
05:11You are not respecting the law.
05:13You are not respecting the law.
05:15I want to come in between.
05:17I want to come in between.
05:19Wait a second.
05:21Okay.
05:23You had an objection,
05:25that's why I gave you time.
05:27Because ABP news
05:29does not support this kind of language.
05:31That's why, as a representative of ABP news,
05:33I have put an objection here.
05:35Please think about it.
05:37Use the language with patience.
05:39That's why I...
05:41Shaheen Bagh...
05:43You should apologize.
05:45You should apologize.
05:47You should apologize.
05:49You should apologize.
05:51You should apologize.
05:53You should apologize.
05:55You should apologize.
05:57You should apologize.
06:59But RP Singh sir, you complete your point.
07:01I think you should bring
07:03Shadab Shams to the other window
07:05with RP Singh sir.
07:07Because this statement,
07:09which has been criticized by RP Singh sir,
07:11was given by Shadab Shams.
07:13As an anchor of ABP news,
07:15I have also put an objection on this.
07:17That this kind of language
07:19will not be tolerated at all.
07:21I mean, if you are sitting on national television
07:23and talking in such a way
07:25that your image will be turned red,
07:27then you are sending a very wrong message.
07:29Come on, RP Singh sir, complete your point.
07:31One minute, one minute.
07:33Mr. Shadab, wait a minute.
07:35He said that
07:37we should bring
07:39those people who create
07:41a situation like Shaheen Bagh in the country.
07:43Those who want a situation like Shaheen Bagh
07:45to be re-established in the country.
07:47For several months, the roads were closed.
07:49The development of the country was stopped.
07:51I called them on the screen.
07:53Then I answer. I said for both.
07:55It is not right to create a ruckus here.
07:57Absolutely.
07:59It should have been a ruckus
08:01when the rental income
08:03of 9,28,000 acres
08:05was less than
08:07166 crores and came to 10 crores.
08:09And when the real commission
08:11said on page number 123
08:13that the income
08:15can be 12,000 crores.
08:17Yesterday I was on a TV channel.
08:19I was not getting the name.
08:21There is a good spoiler.
08:23Give us all the land.
08:25We will run the economy
08:27of the whole country.
08:29Please check.
08:31You have a parallel channel.
08:33We can run the economy of the whole country.
08:35If we could run the economy of the country,
08:37then the poor Muslims
08:39who are my sister,
08:41who are poor,
08:43who are orphans,
08:45who have trouble studying,
08:47get a school, hospital, college built.
08:4912,000 crores is not less.
08:51One minute.
08:53One minute.
08:55Mr. R.P. Singh.
08:57My question is
08:59about the government's intention.
09:01First of all,
09:03why are you raising your finger
09:05against the government?
09:07This is not the way.
09:09Why are you raising your finger
09:11against the government?
09:13One minute.
09:15You are not making me a victim.
09:17You are making me an accuser.
09:19You are not even listening.
09:21You have spoken the wrong language.
09:23You have spoken the wrong language.
09:25Listen to me completely.
09:27Listen to me completely.
09:29Listen to me completely.
09:31Listen to me again.
09:33Listen to me again.
09:35This is not the way.
09:37You cannot meet
09:39on this channel and talk like this.
09:41This is not the right way.
09:43This is my objection to your statement.
09:45This is not the right way.
09:47You are making a wrong statement.
09:49Your face
09:51does not look good
09:53when you talk like this.
09:55One second.
09:57One second.
09:59One second.
10:01Your voices are not being heard.
10:03Your voices are not being heard.
10:05The mic is with me.
10:07One minute. Please listen to me.
10:09I am coming to you one by one.
10:11One second. Mr. Shadab, you gave a statement
10:13regarding which there is an objection.
10:15What is the objection?
10:17One second.
10:19First give the complete statement.
10:21Then we will discuss the objection.
10:23Don't make it so important for yourself.
10:25The issue is left behind.
10:27I said that
10:29you gave a statement
10:31of a lawyer
10:33who said that there will be a big movement
10:35from Shaheen Bagh.
10:37Shaheen Bagh will become a big Shaheen Bagh.
10:39Shaheen Bagh is a country.
10:41We said that
10:43you can go and protest.
10:45According to democracy, you have the right.
10:47Democracy gave you the right.
10:49But if
10:51if you talk about burning the country,
10:53if you talk about
10:55making Shaheen Bagh like this,
10:57then your presence can also be red.
10:59Are you consistent with your statement?
11:01Absolutely.
11:03Mr. Rathi, please come.
11:05Let me tell you,
11:07how beautifully you changed the topic.
11:09He said that if you do this,
11:11Why will you do this?
11:13Listen to me.
11:15If you talk too much,
11:17we will correct you.
11:19You won't get angry.
11:21I can also say this.
11:23I said that if you talk too much,
11:25we will correct you.
11:27You won't get angry.
11:29Secondly, who burned the country
11:31in Shaheen Bagh?
11:33The people who burned the country
11:35are in power.
11:37The people who burned the country
11:39are sitting here.
11:41Tell me one thing.
11:43I will answer all your questions.
11:45You haven't seen?
11:47You haven't seen?
11:49Tell me, who is the benefit of burning the country?
11:51You are scaring us.
11:53You are scaring us.
11:55Shaheen Bagh is scary.
11:57You are scaring us.
11:59This is why I am saying
12:01this fear politics won't work.
12:03This is why I am saying
12:05this fear politics won't work.
12:07You want the country to go on its own?
12:09You want the country to go on its own?
12:11Look, I just told the government to build a mosque,
12:14they built it.
12:15You want to extend the time?
12:16They'll extend it.
12:17After that, you'll stay at home.
12:19I swear on the country.
12:20I'm stopping both of you.
12:22Because I gave both of you plenty of time.
12:24One second.
12:37You want the country to go on its own?
