The Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, is set to be tabled in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, amidst an ongoing political standoff between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Opposition’s INDIA bloc. Both the BJP and the Congress have issued whips to their Members of Parliament (MPs), ensuring maximum attendance in the House for the proceedings.

The bill will be introduced after the Question Hour for consideration and passage, followed by an eight-hour debate, which may be extended if deemed necessary. Given the lack of bipartisan consensus on the matter, the final decision is expected to be determined by the numerical majority on the House floor.
