RJD Targets Center Over Waqf Board Act Amendments: 'Eyes Somewhere, Target Somewhere'

The Modi government is preparing to introduce major amendments to the Waqf Board Act, with the Waqf Board Amendment Bill likely to be presented in Parliament this week. The central government aims to restrict the Waqf Board's authority to declare any property as "Waqf property," intending to enhance regulation and oversight. This move has sparked political controversy, with various parties weighing in on the implications. Critics argue that the amendments could undermine the Waqf Board's autonomy, while supporters believe it will promote accountability and prevent misuse. As political debate intensifies, the proposed changes to the Waqf Board Act are becoming a focal point of national discourse.
