The Waqf Amendment Bill, passed in the Rajya Sabha after a 13-hour debate, aims to reform the management of Waqf properties by improving transparency and accountability. While it received strong support from the ruling government, with 128 votes in favor, it has sparked mixed reactions across India. Celebrations took place in Muslim-majority areas, where many viewed it as a positive step, while the opposition, including Congress and regional leaders like MK Stalin and Mamata Banerjee, criticized the bill as an attempt to deepen religious divides and further the government's political agenda. BJP leaders, however, defended the bill, arguing it would bring much-needed reform and accountability. As the bill moves toward the President for final approval, the nation remains divided over whether it will lead to meaningful change or intensify political polarization.
