Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently spoke out in defense of the amendments to the Waqf Act, emphasizing that they aim to correct the appeasement policies of the previous UPA government which allegedly favored fundamentalists and land grabbers, leading to the partition of India. PM Modi stated that the changes made in 2013 had prioritized the interests of the land mafia over the Constitution, which ultimately hindered justice for the victims. The new amendments to the Waqf Act are designed to safeguard the rights of the common Muslims in India. The legislation was passed by the Parliament after thorough debate and public consultation. The move has been welcomed by many as a step towards rectifying historical injustices and ensuring greater protection for the Muslim community in the country.
