The passage of the Waqf Bill has ignited fierce debates and political tensions across India. After the bill was passed in both Houses of Parliament, political leaders from various parties have raised concerns about its implications. Among the supporters of the bill is Shahnawaz Hussain, a senior BJP leader, who revealed that he has been receiving numerous threats and abusive messages on social media for his support. However, he remains undeterred and has pledged to take legal action against the perpetrators. The bill, which received backing from NDA allies, has sparked resistance from opposition parties, especially JD(U) and RLD. JD(U) MLC Khalid Anwar stated that the Muslim community feels apprehensive about the bill, arguing that opposition parties have successfully shaped a narrative of fear around it. Anwar further criticized the government for failing to address the concerns of the Muslim community effectively. The political landscape surrounding the Waqf Bill has been marked by intense poster wars. RJD has mocked Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar by portraying him with an Islamic cap, while JD(U) countered by putting up posters defending the bill. Both sides are embroiled in a heated battle over the bill's merits and implications. As the controversy rages on, the government faces mounting pressure to reassure stakeholders and clarify the bill’s purpose to ease growing fears.

01:49Abuses are being given.

02:28Thank you very much, Shashank, for this entire conversation.
02:30Thank you very much, Shashank, for this entire conversation.
02:35The Waqf Bill has been passed by both the parties.
02:37All the parties of the NDA have also supported this bill.
02:40But after the support of this bill, the voice of rebellion has increased in parties like JDU and RLD.
02:44I am telling you the big news.
02:46The statement of JDU MLC Khalid Anwar has come out on the Waqf Bill.
02:50It has been said that the Muslim community is scared of the passing of the Waqf Bill.
02:54Khalid Anwar says that the opposition parties have succeeded in setting the narrative.
02:59But the central government has failed to convey its message.
03:02In addition, the JDU MLC says that the responsibility of removing the fear of the Muslim community lies with the central government.
03:08In order to discuss the Waqf Bill, JDU MLC Khalid Anwar, who has been promoted, is satisfied with the statements of JDU MLC Khalid Anwar.
03:22Look, the people are scared and hopeless.
03:28And the trust is broken.
03:31I think the opposition has succeeded in setting the narrative.
03:36and the government has failed in conveying its message.
03:41And the purpose for which this bill has been passed
03:48and the message that the government has conveyed,
03:51people are not ready to believe it.
03:54It is our job to satisfy the people.
03:58And if the people for whom the bill has been passed
04:01have this kind of fear,
04:05then it is our responsibility to remove it.
04:09Sir, your party has supported this bill in the parliament.
04:13The government is our party in the parliament
04:16and we are the alliance partners.
04:20We have supported the government.
04:24But our concern is that the government says that it has been removed.
04:31Despite this, the stakeholders are not satisfied.
04:35Governments are not run to upset a class,
04:41to spread fear in a class,
04:44to try to instill hatred in the society,
04:48or to push the society into despair.
04:52In any case, the government should try to make a mechanism
04:58for the people to be satisfied.
05:01Do you think there is a dent in Nitish's secular image?
05:04Many of your party's Muslim leaders have resigned.
05:07Look, Nitish Kumar is an established secular leader.
05:12There is no question of a dent in that.
05:14People are upset.
05:16People are disappointed.
05:18People are afraid.
05:20People are resigning.
05:22Their anger is not with Nitish Kumar or Jantadhar United.
05:26Their anger is with the bill.
05:30And if we fail to satisfy them, then it is our failure.
05:38Jantadhar United and our leader Nitish Kumar
05:41never care about votes.
05:45In Bihar, Arif Mohammad Khan has said that
05:48the bill that has been passed is a tough one.
05:50There is a lot of hope for improvement.
05:54There is a need for a lot of improvement.
05:56And I believe that the bill that has been passed,
05:59whether it becomes a law or not,
06:02it is a big step in that direction.
06:07So, there was a big statement by the Central Minister,
06:09Chirag Paswan, regarding the Waqf-e-Bill.
06:12He accused that the opposition is spreading
06:14a conspiracy on the Waqf-e-Bill.
06:16After a few days, the Muslims will understand
06:19that the bill is for their own good.
06:21He also spoke about the anger of the Muslims
06:24regarding the Waqf-e-Bill.
06:27I would like to say to every Muslim person
06:30that your anger is on my head.
06:34Time will tell whether the decisions
06:37taken by Chirag Paswan were in your favour or not.
06:42This amendment bill came to the Parliament of India.
06:46After studying every aspect of it,
06:49Lokjan Shakti Party, Ram Vilas,
06:52has decided to support it.
06:55I believe that in the future,
06:58this amendment will be in the interest of the poor Muslims
07:02and time will prove it.
07:06So, time will tell how this bill is in the interest of the Muslims.
07:09The opposition is spreading a conspiracy among the Muslims.
07:12Whereas, Chirag Paswan is saying that
07:14he has taken this step for the betterment of the Muslims
07:17and in the future, it will be clear
07:20how this bill is for the betterment of the Muslims.
07:24Especially, for the upliftment of the poor Muslims.
07:29At the same time, the Supreme Court is being challenged
07:31against the Waqf-e-Bill.
07:32So, in Bihar, poster politics is also going on.
07:35After supporting the Waqf-e-Bill,
07:37RJD has posted a poster and
07:39has told Nitish Kumar about it.
07:41Look at the pictures.
07:42On Nitish, this attack by RJD
07:44Different posters have been posted in which
07:46Nitish Kumar has been shown wearing a cap.
07:49He has been shown wearing an Islamic cap.
07:51And he has been told about it.
07:52After this, outside the RJD office,
07:54posters have been posted in support of the Waqf-e-Bill.
07:56On which it was written,
07:57those who are taking the rights of others,
07:59they are the Waqf.
08:00Those who are doubting the will of Nitish,
08:02they are the Waqf.
08:03So, on one side,
08:04a poster has come out from the BJP side
08:06in which the opposition has been shown as Ravan
08:07and PM Modi has been shown as Ram.
