Breaking: Waqf Amendment Bill Passed in Parliament, A Historic Step Towards Social and Economic Justice

The Waqf Amendment Bill has been approved in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, a landmark development in India's legislative history. The bill, aimed at reforming the management of Waqf properties, will soon be sent to the President for final approval. Once enacted, the law seeks to address long-standing issues of transparency and accountability within the Waqf Board. Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the passage of the bill as a historic step for social and economic justice. He stressed that the reform would primarily benefit marginalized Muslim communities, especially low-income groups and Muslim women. The bill aims to ensure that Waqf properties are managed more effectively, with their benefits reaching those who have long been neglected. In a social media post, Modi described the bill’s passage as an important moment for inclusive development, emphasizing that it would provide much-needed support to the vulnerable. Supporters view the bill as a vital reform for fairness, while critics argue it could have political motivations. Once signed into law, the Waqf Amendment Bill will bring greater transparency to Waqf property management and contribute to the government's broader efforts to foster social equality and economic justice for all.
