BJP MP Ravi Kishan Defends Waqf Amendment Bill, Highlights Benefits for Poor Muslims

  • April 1, 2025, 1:35 p.m.

In a recent statement regarding the controversial Waqf Amendment Bill, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament (MP) Ravi Kishan emphasized the legislation’s potential to uplift and support poor Muslims across the country. Speaking in favor of the bill, Kishan reassured that it is intended to benefit the underprivileged sections of the Muslim community by promoting educational and welfare initiatives.

"The Waqf Bill is for the benefit of poor Muslims," Kishan stated. "Schools and colleges will be built for them, and various works will be done for their welfare. This bill is being brought forward with the aim of helping the economically disadvantaged Muslim population," he added.

The Waqf Amendment Bill, currently under discussion, seeks to address the management and use of Waqf properties – those dedicated for religious, charitable, or educational purposes in the Muslim community. The amendment aims to ensure better administration and accountability of such properties, with the ultimate goal of utilizing them to improve the living conditions of poor Muslims.

The BJP has framed the bill as a significant step towards ensuring that Waqf properties are used more efficiently for the welfare of the community. Proponents like Kishan argue that it will open the door for the construction of new schools, colleges, and other educational institutions, all of which would specifically serve the Muslim population, offering better access to education and economic opportunities.

However, the bill has sparked considerable debate, with critics questioning whether the provisions adequately address concerns over transparency and the potential for mismanagement of Waqf properties. There are also concerns that the bill may inadvertently marginalize the broader interests of the Muslim community in favor of political gains.

Supporters of the BJP, however, argue that this reform is long overdue and reflects the party's commitment to the welfare of all communities, particularly marginalized groups. "This is a forward-thinking bill that aligns with the government’s focus on inclusive development," said Kishan.

As the Waqf Amendment Bill continues to make its way through Parliament, all eyes will be on its progress and the extent to which it truly delivers on its promises to improve the lives of poor Muslims across the nation.
