Opposition Creates Confusion & Leaves House: Rijiju in Rajya Sabha
The Rajya Sabha, India’s upper house of parliament, has often been known for its heated debates and opposition from various parties. However, on Thursday, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju criticized senior Rajya Sabha members for creating confusion and raising issues in the House but not staying back to listen to the replies. This remark was made during discussions on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill.
The Waqf (Amendment) Bill aims to replace the Waqf Act, 1995, and is aimed at reforming the administration of the Waqf properties in the country. The opposition, however, has been raising objections to the bill, citing various reasons. During the debate, MP Kapil Sibal created a stir by comparing the properties of Waqf bodies with those of other religious bodies.
Rijiju, in his response, accused Sibal of creating confusion by making such a comparison. “When you create confusion, you should stay back to listen to the reply. But you don’t stay back, you just walk away,” Rijiju said.
The Union Minister’s remarks were made in response to the Opposition’s criticism of the bill. The Opposition has been arguing that the bill is an attempt to encroach upon the autonomy of the Waqf boards and that it will lead to the commercialization of Waqf properties.
However, the government has been maintaining that the bill is aimed at reforming the administration of Waqf properties and that it will help in the better management of these properties. The government has also been claiming that the bill will help in the development of Waqf properties and that it will benefit the poor and marginalized sections of society.
Rijiju’s remarks have added to the existing tension between the government and the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha. The Opposition has been accusing the government of not listening to their concerns and of trying to push through the bill without taking them into account.
The Waqf (Amendment) Bill has been a contentious issue in the Rajya Sabha for some time now. The Opposition has been demanding that the bill be referred to a select committee for further scrutiny. However, the government has been refusing to do so, claiming that the bill has already been scrutinized by the relevant authorities.
