Defending the recent WAQF bill (amendment) for Parliament, BJP national spokesman and member of Rajya Sabha, Sudhanshu Trivedi on Sunday, said Sunday that no state could implement a central law in the constitutional system of India.

“The bill has been promulgated following all procedures and complying with all constitutional beliefs and is aimed at empower Threat of the pleas of the plea of ​​the threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of a threat of a threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of a threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of the threat of the threat The plea of ​​the pleasant of the threat of the threat, threatens a threat a threat a threat a threat a threat a threat a threat a threat a threat a threat a threat a threat a threat a threat A.

Highlighting the opposition, Mr. Trivedi said that the Indian Constitution would prevail over any religious decree.

“This bill introduces significant changes in the WAQF Law, 1995. The amendments aim to improve the management and regulation of WAQF properties, ensuring greater responsibility and inclusion. It is a step towards the empowerment of additional inclusion”, “,” “,” “

The MP BJP used an acute rhetoric to ridicule the accusations of the opposition about the improper use of WAQF properties. He cited a sarcastic proverb in Hindi that implies that existing practices were more exploitative than the proposed reforms.

Attated the bill with a broader narrative of national integration and unity, suggesting that simplifying and regulating religious institutions was part of the construction of a modern and progressive India where all citizens were equal under the law.

In addition, he questioned why WAQF exists in India when Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Türkiye, Iraq and Syria did not have it. “Several higher courts have ruled that WAQF is not a religious issue. The WAQF Board is an abstract organism for country management.”
