Parliament Budget Session 2025 Live Updates: The last four days of the Parliament Budget Session 2025 are expected to be turbulent, with the Central government looking to table the Waqf (Amendment) Bill in the House this week amid strong opposition from other parties. Opposition MPs have reiterated that they will actively protest the tabling of the Waqf Bill, which aims to implement changes into the existing rules of the state Waqf boards. It is likely that the Bill will be tabled by the Centre on Wednesday, with the Parliament session set to end on Friday.
What Kiren Rijiju said: Minority Affairs and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has said the appropriate time for the Bill’s introduction will be decided after consultations within the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) and discussion with the Speaker. According to sources, the BAC is expected to meet today at 12.30 pm and that the Waqf Bill is on the agenda. A decision will likely be made on the schedule for the Bill — including tabling it and time allocation for debate. The schedule will be shared on Tuesday, Rijiju said. The Opposition MPs however have dubbed the bill “unconstitutional” and vowed to resist its tabling in the Parliament.
House may extend for passing of Waqf Bill: Rijiju, who wants the Bill to be passed as soon as possible, said that the House may extend its proceedings for its passing. However, no official announcement regarding the same has been made yet. “Some people are saying that this Waqf Amendment Bill is unconstitutional. Waqf rules have been in existence since before independence… All these provisions are already in existence. If the Waqf Act has been in existence since before independence, then how can it be illegal?” Rijiju told media persons on Monday.
