Kochi: The controversial Waqf (Amendment) Bill was passed by
Lok Sabha on Wednesday passed after a prolonged discussion for 12 hours.
The government countered Opposition’s charges of taking over the constitutional rights of Muslim and attacks on federalism.
A total of 288 votes went in favour of the bill and 232 against it.
BJP’s ‘secular’ allies strongly stood behind the saffron party.
The Upper House is likely to clear it as the BJP is comfortably placed in Rajya Sabha.
