BSP chief Mayawati has issued a statement regarding the passing of the Waqf Amendment Bill in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
She stated on Twitter, "After listening to the ruling and opposition parties on the Waqf Amendment Bill in Parliament, the conclusion is that if the central government had given the public more time to understand this bill and had also addressed all their concerns before bringing it forward, it would have been better."
She further expressed, "Unfortunately, the government has rushed this bill through, which is not right. If the government misuses this bill after its passage, the BSP will fully support the Muslim community. In such a situation, the party does not agree with this bill."
The Waqf Amendment Bill has been passed in the Lok Sabha with 288 votes in favor and 232 against it.
Additionally, the Waqf Amendment Bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha late Thursday night, with 128 votes in favor and 95 against it.
A watershed moment: PM Modi
The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today hailed the passage of the Waqf (Amendment) Bill and the Mussalman Wakf (Repeal) Bill by both Houses of Parliament. He said it marks a watershed moment in our collective quest for socio-economic justice, transparency and inclusive growth.
In separate thread posts on X, he wrote:
“The passage of the Waqf (Amendment) Bill and the Mussalman Wakf (Repeal) Bill by both Houses of Parliament marks a watershed moment in our collective quest for socio-economic justice, transparency and inclusive growth. This will particularly help those who have long remained on the margins, thus being denied both voice and opportunity.”
“Gratitude to all Members of Parliament who participated in the Parliamentary and Committee discussions, voiced their perspectives and contributed to the strengthening of these legislations. A special thanks also to the countless people who sent their valuable inputs to the Parliamentary committee. Yet again, the importance of extensive debate and dialogue has been reaffirmed.”
“For decades, the Waqf system was synonymous with lack of transparency and accountability. This especially harmed the interests of Muslim women, poor Muslims, Pasmanda Muslims. The legislations passed by Parliament will boost transparency and also safeguard people’s rights.”
“We will now enter an era where the framework will be more modern and sensitive to social justice. On a larger note, we remain committed to prioritising the dignity of every citizen. This is also how we build a stronger, more inclusive and more compassionate India.”
