The Waqf Amendment Bill has passed in the Lok Sabha. Late at 1.56 pm, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla made this announcement. The bill cast 288 votes in favor, while 232 votes were cast in protest. Now it will be sent to the Rajya Sabha. BJP’s allies openly supported this bill, while the opposition opposed the bill. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said that there is no place for minorities in the world more secure than India and they are safe, because the majority are completely secular. Responding to the debate that lasted about 12 hours on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill-2025, Union Minority Affairs Minister Rijiju said that small minority communities like Parsis are also safe in India and all the minority live here with pride.
During the debate on the bill, Amit Shah said in the Lok Sabha that we have not tampered with Waqf. The Waqf Board and the Waqf Council have been amended. Its functioning is administrative. The Waqf Board does not have to do religious activities. We are not even touching Mutavalli. At the same time, Asaduddin Owaisi opposed the Waqf Bill in Parliament and said that this is a violation of Article 25, 26. He further said that the Waqf Bill is injustice to Muslims.
With the passing of the bill, the BJP has targeted 6 by one step. In fact, the glasses of secularism have long been showing the political champions of secularism by wearing the BJP and the BJP government’s decisions, but the BJP has done the batting on the Waqf Bill in the Lok Sabha, which made it clear in the field of politics that the definition of 1-secularism will not work, which the opposition has come. 2- The politics of putting every decision related to Muslims in the dock of Muslim opposition is no longer going on. 3- The political hand of vote is not going to climb every time by telling Muslims a threat. 4- The intention of changing the decisions on the issue related to Muslims is no longer successful. 5- On the support of Nitish and Naidu, the opposition will have to forget to consider the moving government weak. 6- The opposition will also have to understand that even though the seats have increased this time, the strength of decisions is not loosened from PM Modi’s hand.
In such a situation, there are also questions whether the Modi government changed the mathematics of the politics of secularism in the country with one bill? With a bill, the Modi government showed that the politics of votes will not work by scaring Muslims? Did one bill tell that change in the interest of Muslims does not mean opposition to securism? Did the government show that due to decrease in seats, the pace of taking aggressive decisions in Parliament has not decreased? Will the new secularism of politics be seen in the country with the seal on the Waqf Bill?
PM Modi has no match in taking a decision
The opposition must have felt that Nitish Kumar in Bihar and Chandrababu Naidu MPs in Bihar will hesitate to take a decision on the Waqf, but with 240 seats, the BJP was seen in the Parliament as the BJP was with 303 seats. In 2019, when the Modi government came to power for the second time, within 6 months the government passed three divorces, independence from Article 370 and the CAA law. Then the BJP had a 303 seat majority on its own. This time, when the government was formed in 2024, BJP’s own seats came only 240, but within a few months, the Waqf modification bill was finally approved. The seal on the bill is evidence that the majority may not be with the government on its own, but PM Modi has no match in taking decisions.
Will it be seen in electoral politics?
Will the effect of Waqf Bill be seen further in electoral politics? This question is because Bihar is the election, then the election of West Bengal is less than a year. The Home Minister understands this electoral politics very well, only when TMC questioned the bill in the House, protested, then Amit Shah’s answer came into the discussion.
Government rejected opposition allegations
The question is that where the leaders of the opposition kept saying that there will be opposition to the road. Has Muslims themselves not supported in this politics? Is this because where the opposition kept saying that non-Muslims will become majority in the Waqf Board, the mosque-dargah will be captured, the government will take away the property of Muslims, the tradition of the historic Waqf site will be affected, the government constantly told the truth by rejecting all these claims. Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu were not remembered by the opposition and Muslim organizations, but when the turn of support and protest came today, both JDU and TDP destroyed the dreams of the opponents.
Mathematics of the politics of Muslim vote changed?
Seeing the history of Nitish Kumar’s overturning, this time the opposition must have felt that what is the good governance Babu doing iftar parties, so even the leader of Owaisi’s party was busy in awakening Nitish Kumar against the BJP in the name of Muslim vote, but everyone’s dream broke. Nitish’s party told that the mathematics of the politics of Muslim vote has changed. Delhi, Bihar capital Patna and Vijayawada of Andhra Pradesh. From this, you should understand how many pressure from opposition parties to Muslim Personal Law Board to bring Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu against the bill, how much pressure was put, even in the performance of the Muslim Personal Law Board, the names of Nitish Naidu were put up by writing the names, so that they should oppose the bill, but the government did not set up such a mathematical bill, but the party did not set up the bill, but the party did not set up the bill for She was seen playing openly in the House.
