Union Home Minister Amit Shah has vowed to pass the Waqf Amendment Bill during the upcoming Winter session of Parliament ¹. This development comes as a significant assurance to the Muslim community, which has been awaiting reforms to the Waqf laws.
The Waqf Amendment Bill aims to strengthen the management and administration of Waqf properties across India. Shah’s promise highlights the government’s commitment to addressing long-standing issues related to Waqf management ¹.
In another significant development, Shah is scheduled to move the Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, 2023, in the Rajya Sabha ². This bill seeks to reserve 33% of seats in the Jammu and Kashmir and Puducherry Assemblies for women.
The Winter session of Parliament is expected to witness intense discussions on various bills, including the Waqf Amendment Bill and other significant legislation ³. With Shah’s assurance, the Muslim community and Waqf stakeholders eagerly await the passage of the bill.
The success of the Waqf Amendment Bill’s passage will depend on the cooperation and consensus among various political parties in Parliament. As the Winter session unfolds, the nation will watch closely to see if Shah’s promise materializes into reality.
