Said that I want to tell the people of the country through this home that the government under the guidance of Premier Narendra Modi is moving forward by following democratic rules. have. This law is made weapons for political profits. It is used by the Modi government to weaken the diversity of the country in a planned way. When this bill was approved late in the Lok Sabha, 288 votes were cast in its favor and 232 votes in the opposition. From this we can recommend that this bill, even after the opposition of different parties, has been randomly brought. The BJP government talks a lot about the well -being of minorities. Empowerment is done. But the truth is clear from the budget allocation of the five -year minority department of the government. The budget allocation of this Department in FY 2019-20 was Rs 4,700 crore, which found at 2.608 crore in 2023-24. The budget allocation in FY 2022-23 was Rs 2,612 crore, of which the ministry could not spend Rs 1.775 crore. In total, the budget was received over five years, Rs 18.274 Crore, of which 3,574 crore could not be spent. Sudhanshu Trivedi, MP of Rajya Sabha, BJP, said the work was done seriously to prepare this bill, but some people spread misunderstandings about its terms. Trivedi pulls and says, “The new Mulla -onion eats more, but here the old Mullah eats more well.” He asks why the Sunni Waqf Council and the Shia Waqf board differ in the country? Not only that, the WAQF board made the claim on the Taj Mahal. He said that the government is fully committed to the welfare of the Muslim society. He said: “This game is among those who believe in the development of society and among those who only do their interests. Our government is at a weak Muslim society, not with those who do the politics of radical voting bank.” Independent Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal said he could donate his property to what he wanted; There is no one to stop them. Suppose I am a Hindu, a Muslim, a Sikh or a Christian and I have some property I want to donate, and who can stop me, no one can stop. The provisions made in 1954 and 1995 were said that only Muslims can make (donate) (donate). No other person can donate his property here to the WAQF board. The amendment brought in 2013 ended this ban. In this new amendment bill, it has now been said that only Muslims can give waqf. He mentioned such court decisions, where Hindus their countries for various projects such as cemeteries, etc. Donated. Congress -LP Abhishek Manu Singhvi said: “What autonomy was left in this bill. There is only the government’s control in it. The old law needed the CEO of WAQF Council as a Muslim. It is also necessary to refer to the two persons. Temple Act said: “I want to ask this respected meeting if one of them has been given the right to name someone other than the community in question?” Bill and not both get a question mark. He said that the concept of charity is not only in our religion, but also in every religion. A WAQF board was created to oversee the Idar’s made for the purpose of our donations. It is spread on social media that a WAQF board was created for Muslims. Maybe they don’t know and don’t even want to say that there is an endowment council in this country; There is a Hindu religious place in this country; This country has SGPC, Temple is also a trust, advice and corporation for Christian. Separate acts were performed to regulate matters of each religion. -Ians psk/acade
