“Attack On Constitution”: Opposition vs Government In Parliament On Waqf Bill

Opposition parties led by the Congress joined ranks to protest against the Waqf Amendment Bill in Lok Sabha today. The legislation aims to address issues related to powers of State Waqf Boards, registration and survey of Waqf properties and removal of encroachment.

The legislation proposes to amend 44 sections of the 1995 Waqf Act. The Bill proposes that the Central Waqf Council and state Waqf Boards must have two women. It also lays down that money received by the Waqf Board must be used for the welfare of widows, divorcees, and orphans in the manner suggested by the government. Another key proposal is that women’s inheritances must be protected. The provision for including non-Muslim members of Waqf bodies is another contentious point in the proposed law.

A general discussion on the budget for the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir for the fiscal year 2024-25 will be also held in the Rajya Sabha today.

The discussion is crucial as both the budgets shape the financial direction of the country and the Union Territory, respectively.

Here are the live updates on Monsoon Session of Parliament:

On INDIA bloc protest against Union Budget, Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan says, “This budget doesn’t deserve a reaction. This is just a drama. Promises which will be kept in papers will not be implemented.”

Monsoon Session Updates:
On INDIA bloc protest against Union Budget, Congress MP Randeep Singh Surjewala says, “… This is a ‘kursi bachao budget’, ‘satta bachao budget’, ‘badla lo budget’. More than 90% people of the country have been isolated with this budget… Modi government is focussed only on saving the BJP government.”

On leaders of the INDIA bloc protesting against Union Budget 2024, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi says, “This protest is against the discrimination in the budget. All the opposition-ruled states have been ignored… We witnessed ‘PM Maharashtra Virodhi Yojana’ in the Budget yesterday. Maharashtra is the highest tax paying state, yet we don’t get our share in return…”

On the Union Budget, Samajwadi Party MP Akhilesh Yadav says “We all were demanding that farmers should get MSP but the support price is given to the alliance partners who are saving their govt, rather than the farmers…The government could not take any concrete step regarding inflation. Uttar Pradesh did not get anything. UP should have got a double benefit from the double-engine government. I think the people of Lucknow have angered the people of Delhi. Its result is visible in the budget. So what is the benefit of the double engine?…”

Congress President & LoP Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge says, “Many didn’t get justice (in Union Budget). We are fighting for justice.”

In Budget 2024, The Lok Sabha Election Effect

The first budget of the third term of Narendra Modi government bore a clear imprint of the recent Lok Sabha election, in which the BJP failed to gain majority on its own and had to depend on allies to form government. The reaction went beyond the special packages for Nitish Kumar’s Bihar and Chandrababu Naidu’s Andhra Pradesh – a compensatory gesture for the blocked special category status that both states had demanded.

The biggest focus of this budget was employment for the country’s young people — across all sectors and including the opportunity for apprenticeship in private companies. The government is also providing a month’s salary upto ₹ 15,000 to the new recruits through Direct Benefit Transfer.

The deal is sweetened for employers with subsidy on their share of Provident Fund Payments.

Emphasizing the necessity for a budget that addresses the needs of the middle class and the underprivileged, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge praised the 1991 budget presented by former Finance Minister Manmohan Singh, noting that it spurred India’s growth trajectory.

“July 1991 marked a watershed moment in India’s history, as the Liberalisation Budget, spearheaded by then Prime Minister P.V.Narasimha Rao and Finance Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, ushered in a new era of economic reforms. This visionary move revolutionised the country, empowering the middle class and uplifting millions from poverty and marginalisation. The Congress party takes immense pride in this groundbreaking achievement, which catalysed India’s growth trajectory and continues to inspire progress and prosperity,” Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge wrote in a post on X.
