The Indian Parliament is currently engaged in a heated debate over the Waqf Amendment Bill, with the ruling BJP advocating for it as a necessary reform, while opposition parties, including the Samajwadi Party, argue that it interferes with Muslim religious affairs and could lead to government control and disempowerment of the Muslim community. The Telugu Desam Party has shown support for the bill with certain amendments. Key points of contention include the inclusion of non-Muslims on Waqf boards, the role of district collectors in resolving land disputes, and the digitalization of Waqf properties. Additionally, measures to prevent land encroachment are being discussed. The government claims that the bill will enhance transparency and benefit the poor, but critics raise concerns about its impact on religious freedoms, land rights, and the principle of equality before law in India’s secular democracy.
