Breaking: Waqf Amendment Bill Passes in Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, Awaits President’s Assent
A sharp debate unfolded between the ruling party (satta paksh) and the opposition (vipaksh) as the Waqf Amendment Bill was discussed in Parliament. The floor was divided, with passionate arguments and evidence flying in all directions. After hours of deliberation, the bill was put to a vote late last night, and following a prolonged two-hour voting session, the bill successfully passed in the Rajya Sabha. This marked another legislative victory for the government, which had already managed to pass the bill in the Lok Sabha. The opposition, which had strongly opposed the bill, was left defeated. The BJP’s allied parties, firmly supporting the government, ensured that the bill passed without any abstentions. With both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha now in agreement, the bill is only one step away from becoming law—pending the President's assent. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a message of joy and gratitude, expressed his appreciation for the efforts of the Parliamentary Committees and his supporters. On social media, he shared two powerful images: one from the Lok Sabha when the bill was passed, and another from the Rajya Sabha during its approval. These images marked historic moments in the legislative process and set the stage for the bill to be enacted into law, paving the way for its nationwide implementation.
