Union Minority Minister Kiren Rijiju introduced the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, in the Lok Sabha to amend the Waqf Act, 1995. The bill seeks to enhance the authority of State Waqf Boards and the Central Waqf Council, improve the registration and survey of Waqf properties, and address encroachments. Akhilesh Yadav of the Samajwadi Party criticized the bill, suggesting it is a strategic move by the BJP to cater to its base. He questioned the need for non-community members' involvement in Waqf management, contrasting it with other religious bodies and claimed the bill reflects a narrow-minded approach. Yadav also defended the Speaker's role, accusing the BJP of undermining democratic processes. In rebuttal, Amit Shah rejected Yadav’s critique, asserting that no single chairman has exclusive authority over opposition concerns and that such statements undermine the house’s collective authority.
