INDepth: Government Pushes For Contentious Waqf Amendment Amid Opposition | India Today

The Indian government is pushing for the contentious Waqf Amendment Bill, despite facing stiff opposition. The bill, which seeks to restructure the Waqf Boards and ensure women representation, has been met with resistance from various stakeholders. Opposition MPs have requested Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to extend the tenure of the Joint Parliamentary Committee on the bill, as there are views yet to be shared. The government's move has sparked a 'Waqf war' with Muslim bodies opposing the amendment bill. The issue has also led to land disputes across the country, with the Waqf Board claiming ownership of various lands. #indiatoday #waqfamendmentbill #landdisputes #parliament Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
