The Lok Sabha is debating the Waqf Amendment Bill, which proposes significant changes to the management of Waqf properties in India. The government claims it will ensure better utilization of properties, while the opposition argues it targets the Muslim community. Key changes include allowing non-Muslim members in Waqf boards and giving government officials power to decide property disputes. Legal experts raise concerns about potential constitutional conflicts with Article 26, which guarantees religious freedom. The debate on the Waqf Amendment Bill centers around proposed reforms, their impact on Muslim rights, and political divisions. Key issues include government control over Waqf properties, inclusion of non-Muslims in Waqf boards, and digitization of records. While supporters argue for transparency and development of Waqf properties, opponents express concerns about interference in religious affairs and potential disenfranchisement. The discussion highlights the complexity of balancing reform with minority rights in India’s secular framework.
