#WaqfAmendmentBill #WaqfActExplained #WaqfBoard #IndianMuslims #WaqfAct1995
Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju will table the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, a bill to amend the Waqf Act, 1995. This bill seeks to "effectively address issues" related to the powers and functioning of the State Waqf Boards, registration and survey of waqf properties and removal of encroachments. The bill is also aimed at providing justice to poor Muslims and Muslim women besides freeing Waqf properties from illegal occupation. Some changes to the present Act include ensuring the representation of Muslim women and non-Muslims in such bodies. The amended bill seeks to define the terms 'waqf' and omit provisions related to the 'waqf by user'. As per the bill, 'Waqf' would be defined as Waqf by any person who is a practising Muslim for at least 5 years and having ownership of such property and ensure the creation of Waqf-alal-aulad doesn't lead to the denial of women's inheritance rights. Watch this explainer to know more.

We were waiting for 75 years for this bill 😢😢😢😢😢

[amitsarkar]

Stop all appeasements in the name of Secularism. All laws should be Secular and not be religion-based. WAQF should be completely abolished and be treated just like any other charity organization.

When Government can control Hindu temples and takes percentages and taxes, why cant they with Mosques and Churches. This is bias against Indian public, and unconstitutional.
Free Temples.

[rohithprakash]

I'm against BJP on so many other things but on this matter with BJP

[saenchai]

These land grabbing Mafia waqf board committee should be dissolved and transfer the property to the central government' national treasury board..

[anantsaini]

Shame that such a draconian Law is in existence in Independent Secular India.

[sudhirkodialbail]

Very good move. Waqf is not above the law

[adarshkrishnamoorthy]

This is so good to see that everyone regardless of who they support are supporting this change. This is what is beautiful about our country. Remove WAQF completely. Jai hind 🙏

[Sensible_human]

So much needed. Infact this pathetic waqf board should be cancelled.

[Neeta]

Please educate us with a facts-based analysis of the Muslim WAQF board? Why? When? Where? How? Are there WAQF boards for other communities or religions in India and abroad?

[veekramjhurry]

Waqf = a State in another State...
To note that the Act is anticonstitutional as Bharat is a secular state...not an islamic state...Seems the Act couldn't be repealed or abrogated as when Hindus, when requested by Modiji to give him an absolute majority at the last elections to get such evil acts wiped away easily, they preferred to vote their cast instead of casting their votes...Shame on Hindus to have failed NDA in securing an Absolute majority...This is how Hindus will always lose grounds in Bharat and might even lose the country one day due to disolidarity, disunion and casteist approaches...

[mahendrashukla]

Very illogical demand to repell.Everyone should have the right to go to court if they are unsatisfied with judgement of waqf board but they, then what about fundamental rights of constitutional remedies, the bill this is the first great decision by the government in current tenure and if this bill gets repelled I'm never gonna vote for bjp again

[ggk]

65 years of Congress rule has shattered Hindustan IF B.J.P GOVERNMENT free our temples from government We will vote to BJP, even at 35% tax.

[sivaraj]

we respect modiji🎉for save india🎉jai bharath🎉

[balakrishnachinniah]

One old temple is under their control; fear for my ancestors' children.. This is Kalyug man, no one can stop this now...

[aviraljanveja]

After a long time. Modi govt coming in focus and taking a decision that takes spine.

[HumanityisSupreme]

I'm a Muslim moreover an Omnist, but truly I'll say that injustice has been done with Non-Muslims in this country during Congress era. I truly support BJP ONLY FOR THIS BILL.

Rest I know BJP and Congress are the two sides of the same coin.

[abhishektheultimate]

much needed reform to bring equality and secularism. Such a shame, Congress only gave more powers to them for appeasement politics instead of abolishing !

[Vijay-bob]

If Modi promises to nullify the Waqf, I'll vote for him for my lifetime.

[DonJuan-bu]

All Waqf board properties must be verified and if there is no proof of these properties being legally purchased and registered, Govt should take them over.
