Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said that the passage of the Waqf (Amendment) Bill and the Mussalman Wakf (Repeal) Bill by both Houses of Parliament marks a watershed moment in the government’s collective quest for socio-economic justice, transparency, and inclusive growth. In a social media post, Mr. Modi expressed gratitude to all Members of Parliament who participated in the parliamentary and committee discussions, voiced their perspectives, and contributed to the strengthening of these legislations. He also thanked the countless people who sent their valuable input to the parliamentary committee. The Prime Minister mentioned that for decades, the Waqf system was synonymous with a lack of transparency and accountability and harmed the interests of Muslim women, poor Muslims, and Pasmanda Muslims. He added that the legislation passed by Parliament will boost transparency and will safeguard the rights of people. Mr. Modi asserted that the government aims to build a stronger, more inclusive, and more compassionate India and is committed to prioritizing the dignity of every citizen.
