<h1>Waqf Amendment Bill Faces Opposition for Religious Discrimination and Excessive Government Control Over Muslim Institutions</h1> The Waqf Amendment Bill faces strong opposition in Rajya Sabha from multiple parties. Critics argue it targets Muslims specifically, violates constitutional principles of secularism and religious freedom, and increases government control over religious institutions. RJD's representative called for sending the bill back to a select committee, questioning both its content and intent. Opposition members highlighted concerns about non-Muslim representation on Waqf boards, expanded powers for district magistrates, and potential alienation of Muslim properties. Several parliamentarians from RJD, CPI(M), YSRCP, BJD, DMK, and AAP characterized the legislation as unconstitutional, discriminatory, and contradictory to the government's 'sabka sath sabka viswas' promise.
