The Waqf Amendment Bill has successfully passed in the Rajya Sabha with 188 votes in favor and 95 against. After passing the Lok Sabha, the bill was presented in the Rajya Sabha following a marathon 12-hour debate. The bill aims to reform the management of Waqf properties, ensuring that they are used for the welfare of marginalized Muslim communities, particularly for education, health, and overall community development. While the ruling government defended the bill, arguing it would benefit Muslims, particularly the underprivileged, the opposition criticized it for undermining the rights of the Muslim community. The opposition called the bill a tool for exploiting Waqf properties, accusing the government of targeting the Muslim community’s rights. The government responded by clarifying that the bill is intended to ensure better use of Waqf properties for the welfare of Muslims and to eliminate corruption and mismanagement by land mafias. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP leaders strongly supported the bill, claiming it would uplift marginalized Muslims. Modi also emphasized that the reform aims to improve the management of Waqf properties, ensuring their proper use for the community's welfare. While some critics raised concerns about political motivations, the government asserted its commitment to the Muslim community’s welfare, pointing out that the bill would facilitate much-needed social and economic justice.

00:00And now let's turn to the big news.
00:01The big news is that the Waqf-e-Sachodan Bill has been passed by the Rajya Sabha.
00:05The Waqf-e-Sachodan Bill received 128 votes, while the Rajya Sabha received 95 votes.
00:11And now, after the President's approval, this Bill will become law.
00:16After the first test in the Lok Sabha was passed,
00:20the Bill was presented to the Rajya Sabha yesterday and a 12-hour marathon was discussed on the Bill.
00:25After a period of debate and arguments, the votes were counted for 1.5 hours.
00:32The Bill received 128 votes, while the Rajya Sabha received 95 votes.
00:38Like the Lok Sabha, the Rajya Sabha was also successful in passing the Waqf-e-Sachodan Bill.
00:44And the opposition was unsuccessful in opposing the Bill.
00:47After the Parliament passed the Waqf-e-Sachodan Bill, PM Modi's statement was also heard.
00:59PM Modi has said that it is an important moment for the Bill to be passed by both the parties.
01:04And he said that the people who were in shock will get help after the Bill is passed.
01:10For decades, the lack of transparency in the Waqf-e-Sachodan Bill has caused harm to the interests of Muslim women.
01:17With the new law, transparency will increase and the interests of the people will be protected.
01:22This is what PM Modi has said after the Bill has been passed by both the parties.
01:31So, the Waqf-e-Sachodan Bill has been passed by both the parties.
01:35And after the Bill was passed, PM Modi said that the people who were in shock will get help.
01:41This post has been posted on the social media platform on behalf of PM Modi.
01:46The Waqf-e-Sachodan Bill has been passed by both the parties.
01:49PM Modi has said that it is an important moment for the Bill to be passed by both the parties.
01:54And he said that the people who were in shock will get help after the Bill is passed.
01:59These people have been deprived of their voices and opportunities.
02:05I would like to thank all the MPs who took part in the discussions of the Parliament and the Parliamentary Committee.
02:17During the discussion in the Parliament, the opposition surrounded the Government on the Bill.
02:21They said that the Bill is full of shortcomings and that it is a violation of the rights of Muslims.
02:25So, the Government did not take time to clear that the Bill is for the welfare of Muslims.
02:31There are shortcomings and shortcomings in this.
02:35You should see this.
02:39If we keep doing what we do, then it will not be good for anyone.
02:55Secondly, this is a donation Bill.
03:05This is not a way to bring money or save money.
03:15You have tried to take away the rights of the minorities by looking at this in a different way.
03:29We have tried to use the property of the Muslim community as much as possible.
03:37We have tried to use their education, their health and their property in the right hands.
03:42All the sub-sections tell us how this law has gone in the wrong direction.
03:50Between 2013 and 2025, the Muslim Brotherhood has suffered a lot of loss.
03:56And the Land Mafia has eaten a lot of cream from this.
04:05I think the Congress Party should stay away from these cream-eaters.
04:13Although it is difficult to live, but it is better to stay away from the cream-eaters.
04:23And if we worry about the poor Muslims, their education and their health, then it will be very good.
04:34At the same time, there was a heated debate between the parties.
04:38Evidence was given.
04:39The government tried to tell the Muslim Brotherhood while raising questions on the Bill.
04:43So, the history was turned from the BJP side and the present was shown and a strong turn was made.
04:50When Shah Kulla Khan was swinging on the death row in Faizabad jail,
04:54he was swinging for the land of this country.
04:57Sabapati Mohd.

05:05or Sher Khan Afridi, who was also giving his life for this land.
05:10Sabapati Mohd.
05:11Mahaveer Chak Vijayta, who fought against Pakistan and gave his life,
05:16Brigadier Usman, or Paramveer Chak Vijayta, who blew up Pakistan's patent tank,
05:22or Veer Abdul Hameed, who was also giving his life for this land.
05:26I want to tell the government,
05:28don't take away our cows from us.
05:31Don't shoot bulldozers on our houses.
05:35Let us sleep peacefully in our graves.
05:40Sabapati Mohd.
05:41After cutting the budget of the Minority Ministry,
05:44closing the scholarship of Muslim children,
05:47now the government is saying that we will benefit the poor Muslims with the income of Waqf.
05:53After the release of the rapists of Gujarat's daughter Bilqis,
05:57the leaders of the people who made her wear a garland are saying
06:03that this bill will give Muslim women their rights.
06:07Thank you, Mr. Modi.
06:09You are giving such great gifts to Modi.
06:12First you gave us Gujarat-Modi, now you are giving gifts to Modi.
06:16I want to say on behalf of the Prime Minister and my government,
06:20that he has worked with the intention of worship.
06:22So I want to say that I do this work like worship.
06:27I bow down to my duty.
06:30Even then you are doing Khilafat,
06:31so my personality stands out from your opposition.
06:35I also respect political enemies a lot.
