Raipur, 1 May 2025
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, efforts are being made to remove the anomalies of the old Waqf Bill through the new Waqf Amendment Act 2025, so that the lives of the backward and poor sections of the Muslim community can be improved and they can be included in the mainstream of development. Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai said this in a lecture series organized by Waqf Reform Janjagran Abhiyan Samiti Raipur in the Medical College Auditorium on the subject of Waqf Amendment Act 2025. Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai said that the Waqf Amendment Act 2025 is in the interest of Muslims and all Muslims will benefit from it. This bill is not against the Muslim community. This law has been brought after consultation with subject experts and all sections of the society.
Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh, the keynote speaker of the lecture series, said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, rapid reforms are being carried out in the country. He said that whether it is about removing Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir or giving rights to women of Muslim society by abolishing laws like triple talaq, all these works have been done under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Now, through the Waqf Bill, efforts are being made to bring positive reforms by removing the irregularities of the Waqf Board while giving their rights to backward Muslims. Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh further said that our government’s effort is that only the real people of the society can get the benefit of Waqf. Through a power point presentation, he gave detailed information about the losses and anomalies caused by the amendment made in the Waqf Act in 2013 by the UPA government in a hurry. Along with this, detailed information was given regarding the benefits of the current Waqf Amendment Act 2025 and the removal of anomaly provisions.
