He emphasized that the Bill aligns seamlessly with the BJP’s commitment to clean governance and responsible administration.
The Waqf (Amendment) Bill is scheduled for consideration and passing in the Lok Sabha tomorrow.

This legislation will empower authorities to prevent any misuse of these resources, ensuring they serve the greater good of society.”
The Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, aims to reform the management of Waqf properties by introducing measures such as digitization, enhanced audits, and improved transparency.

“The introduction of this Bill is expected to foster greater accountability in the management of Waqf properties, directly contributing to the nation’s growth and welfare. The BJP’s vision for governance emphasizes transparency, efficiency, and responsiveness, aiming to create an administration where even the most vulnerable sections of society have an equal stake in the country’s progress,” he added.
Dr. Parneesh said, “By ensuring that Waqf properties are utilized for public welfare and development, the Bill contributes significantly to the empowerment of marginalized communities. The BJP remains committed to ensuring that every section of society receives its rightful share of benefits, and this legislation is a crucial step in that direction.”
