Notably, BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla was also present during the meeting.
Meanwhile, Rijiju stated that there have been persistent demands and appeals from poor and ordinary Muslim women to ensure Waqf property is managed more transparently, efficiently, and beneficially for the Muslim community.
Top government sources revealed that the bill is likely to be presented after the passage of the Finance Bill, likely this week. Before drafting the amendments, the government consulted various Muslim intellectuals and organisations to ensure comprehensive reforms.
One of the key proposed amendments is the mandatory registration of Waqf properties with the District Collector’s office, allowing for proper evaluation and monitoring. Additionally, the amendments aim to enhance inclusivity by ensuring women’s representation on both the Central Waqf Council and state Waqf boards. (ANI)
