The discussion surrounding the Waqf Bill is gaining momentum as the government prepares to present it in Parliament. While opposition parties are demanding more time to review the bill, there are indications that the government may push it through either in the Lok Sabha or both houses within the next few days. Key political figures like JDU's Sanjay Jha have expressed concerns about misleading communities in the name of the bill. Jha emphasized that the focus should be on protecting religious properties, and he called for a balanced approach to prevent confusion. Moreover, influential figures like Sayyad Nasiruddin Chishti from Ajmer Dargah have urged for unity in passing the bill, reassuring the Muslim community that it is not intended to harm their interests. The debate continues as various stakeholders urge the government to proceed with caution and ensure that the bill is in the best interest of all religious groups.

00:00So, Akhilesh Yadav said that he is against the Vakf Bill and surrounded the government with all the issues.
00:06Continuous attacks on the Vakf Bill are ongoing.
00:10LJP MP Arunabharti has accused the opposition of misguiding on this issue.
00:20The way the opposition is spreading delusions and is continuously doing fear mongering,
00:26this is absolutely wrong.
00:28Before this, the Vakf Bill has been amended at different times and for different needs.
00:34The bill that is being amended in 1995, the BJP had also supported it in the Sadan.
00:40If any such bill is to be amended at different times and for different needs,
00:46then one should not only do fear mongering,
00:49but should also discuss the different aspects of it, its ideas and solutions for development.
01:01What will be your party's stand?
01:03Will you support the amendment in the Sadan?
01:06The bill has not come yet.
01:08Once the bill comes, let it come.
01:10But I would like to say that the bigger society should benefit from it.
01:13We are on its side.
01:14You are saying that the opposition is misguiding.
01:16It is absolutely misguiding.
01:18Before this, the Vakf Bill has been amended at different times.
01:20You want to keep a group behind for good by only doing fear mongering.
01:26You want to keep it behind from the main stream of India.
01:29This is not right.
01:32You have heard the LJP MP.
01:33He is saying that the opposition is misguiding the Muslims.
01:36He is trying to scare them.
01:37Ankit Gupta is continuously in touch with us from Delhi.
01:41Ankit, when will it be clear whether the Vakf Bill will be presented in the Lok Sabha tomorrow or not?
01:46Has any picture been cleared regarding this so far?
01:53There is a lot of discussion about whether this bill will be brought to the Lok Sabha tomorrow.
01:58We had given this news to our viewers last week that this bill will be brought after Eid.
02:03But the important thing is that the meeting of the Business Advisory Committee will be held today.
02:08In that meeting, it is decided how the administration will proceed.
02:11If the government wants to bring a bill, then what are those bills?
02:14All the members of the Business Advisory Committee are informed about that.
02:20So, it is expected that the meeting will take place around 12.30 to 1.00 pm.
02:24In this, the picture will be clear.
02:26And as soon as the government's intention is cleared,
02:30the copy of the Vakf Bill will be circulated to all the members of the Lok Sabha first.
02:37And then to the members of the Rajya Sabha.
02:39So that when there is a discussion, the members do not say that they do not know what is in this bill.
02:45So, it is clearly expected that the picture will be clear by 1.00 pm.
02:49Whether the government is bringing this bill tomorrow or day after tomorrow.
02:53But it is decided that within the next two days, it will be brought to the Lok Sabha.
02:56Ankit, is it accepted that the government will bring this bill to the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha at the same level?
03:04Or is it only being prepared to bring it to the Lok Sabha?
03:11According to the current discussion, the government's intention is to bring this bill to the Lok Sabha.
03:17But it will be important to know what is the opinion of the opposition.
03:21There is a big technical issue here.
03:24Generally, when a bill is brought to the Lok Sabha, the opposition says that we should get a copy of the bill 24 hours in advance.
03:31Generally, all the MPs say that when there is a discussion, we can keep our party in the Lok Sabha in a better way.
03:38So, if we talk only on the technical side, although there are mistakes in this.
03:42For example, when the Anusha 370 was terminated, the government gave that bill to the MPs a few hours ago and brought it to the Lok Sabha the next day.
03:50But here, because there is so much discussion about this bill, it may be said by the opposition that 24 hours should be given and then the bill should be brought to the Lok Sabha.
03:58If this happens, then it is possible, I am just talking about the possibilities.
04:02It is possible that this bill should not be brought to the Lok Sabha tomorrow, but should be brought the day after tomorrow.
04:07And if it is brought the day after tomorrow, then the time will be less.
04:10Then in this case, because the Lok Sabha's proceedings are until April 4, then there will be no time to bring the bill to the Lok Sabha and get it passed.
04:17Yes, so see, Ankit Gupta has told in great detail on many possibilities that what possibilities can be there, how the government can move forward with this bill.
04:25The opposition can ask for some time here to study it after getting a copy of the bill.
04:30Because there will be a discussion on this in the Lok Sabha.
04:32Ankit, there is also a question here, I will come to you.
04:36But right now, let's listen to what the CEO of JDU, Sanjay Jha, has to say.
04:41His interest is that he has never allowed anything wrong to happen to him.
04:47And whatever is coming now, our party and Nitish Kumar ji met a lot of people.
04:53He also gave his suggestion.
04:55And our members in JPC also kept this in mind.
04:59And I think the government will also incorporate it.
05:01The Waqf Bill is not coming for the first time.
05:06This bill has already been amended in 2013.
05:10And this is definitely from our side that it should not be retrospective.
05:15If there is something in the past, then there should not be any impact on it.
05:21Our party had definitely said this.
05:24I think the government committee should definitely keep this in mind.
05:29Syed Nasruddin Chishti said on the Waqf Bill,
05:32It is not right to mislead people in the name of the bill.
05:35This is not the time to mislead.
05:37Syed Nasruddin Chishti wants everyone to pass a good bill.
05:41The support for this bill should be there.
05:43Syed Nasruddin Chishti is the head of Ajmer Dargah.
05:48Look, I have been saying from the first day that the community is being mislead.
05:53In the name of this bill, the Dargahs will be snatched.
05:56Our Muslim institutions will be snatched.
05:59So this is not right.
06:01This is a different matter.
06:03But our belief is that whatever the amendment is,
06:06it should be in the interest of all the religious properties attached to the Waqf.
06:12It should be protected.
06:14This is my belief.
06:15And this is the government's intention.
06:17And I will appeal to all the people who are misleading.
06:20This is not the time to mislead.
06:22Everyone should pass a good bill.
06:24There is a need for time.
06:26The common Muslim should not think that this is against Islam.
06:30No.
