02.04.2025Waqf Bill Passage Through Storm
The Waqf Amendment Bill dominated India's media landscape, culminating in its passage in Lok Sabha with 288-232 votes after a marathon 12-hour debate. The day began with Law Minister Rijiju introducing the bill, claiming Parliament itself could have been declared Waqf property without reforms. Home Minister Shah clarified non-Muslims wouldn't serve on Waqf boards but would participate in administrative functions.

The debate peaked dramatically when AIMIM's Owaisi tore a copy of the bill in Parliament, comparing his action to Gandhi's protest. While NDA allies JDU and TDP supported the bill, opposition parties maintained it targeted Muslims.

In other developments, a Jaguar fighter jet crashed in Gujarat's Jamnagar, killing one trainee pilot and injuring another. International coverage focused on Trump's impending "Liberation Day" tariff announcements, with reports of China planning to increase imports from India in response to US tariffs.
