Waqf Amendment Bill: What’s The Opposition’s Next Move? | Rahul Gandhi | Asaduddin Owaisi

Rajya Sabha passing the Waqf Amendment Bill was referred to as “historic" by the BJP-led Central government. While the allies of the saffron regiment extended their support to the bill, it did not turn up very well for Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s JD(U).

Five senior leaders of Janata Dal (United) tendered their resignation, pointing to dissatisfaction with the party’s stand on the Waqf Amendment Bill. Nadeem Akhtar, joined the list of leaders quitting from the party, marking fifth and the latest resignation.

Waqf Amendment Bill Live: Rajya Sabha gave its nod to the Waqf Amendment Bill late on Thursday night, and the Bill was passed following an over 13-hour debate. While the Opposition objected to the Bill calling it “anti-Muslim” and “unconstitutional”, the BJP-led government responded to it by referring to it as the “historic reform” would benefit the minority community. The Bill was passed with 128 votes in favour and 95 opposing it.

Reacting to the news, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that the passage of the Waqf (Amendment) Bill of 2025 was a “watershed moment” and that this would help the marginalised, who have been “denied both voice and opportunity.”

Meanwhile, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said that the party will challenge the bill “very soon” in Supreme Court.
