The Centre is set to table the Waqf Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha tomorrow, with the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) allocating eight hours for its discussion. However, the Opposition, including Congress, has demanded a 12-hour debate on the bill. This disagreement led to several Opposition leaders staging a walkout during the BAC meeting.
The Waqf Amendment Bill aims to bring significant changes to the functioning of Waqf properties, and its introduction has sparked intense political debate. While the government has proposed a shorter discussion period, the Opposition insists that a more extensive debate is necessary to address the concerns surrounding the bill.
As the bill is tabled, the controversy over the duration of the discussion continues, with the Opposition seeking more time to voice their concerns and scrutinize the proposed amendments.
