The Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance's (NDA) attempt to introduce sweeping changes to the regulations governing Waqf Board properties has met with a lukewarm response from its allies. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju today presented the Waqf (Amendment) Bill in the Lok Sabha, emphasizing that the proposed amendments aim to reform Waqf board operations and address flaws in the Waqf Act of 1995. Rijiju assured that the changes would neither infringe upon religious freedoms nor violate constitutional provisions. Instead, he argued, the amendments would "correct the mistakes" of previous Congress administrations and "bring in discipline," while extending rights to those previously overlooked.
