Waqf board bill based on Congress appointed panel's suggestions: Union min

Quick Summary:

Why is the INDIA bloc opposing the Waqf board bill?

Earlier today, the Congress-led INDIA bloc opposed the bill, labelling it as an "attack on the federal system” and called it “anti-Muslim.

One of the most highlighted aspects of the bill is that it seeks to omit Section 40 of the existing law, which deals with the powers of a Waqf Board to decide if a property is Waqf property.
