“Motivated, unfounded”: India rejects Pakistan’s comments on WAQF amendment | Indian News
New Delhi: India was “motivated and unfounded” comments made by Pakistan on the WAQF Amendment Act. In response to media inquiries about Pakistan’s comments on the WAQF bill, Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said Pakistan has no base position to comment on issues within India.
“We strongly reject Pakistan’s motivations and unfounded comments on the WAQF Amendment Act enacted by the Indian Parliament. Pakistan has no loci to comment on issues within India. Pakistan can better study its own bad records when protecting its own minority rights, rather than protecting its rights, he said others, “JAISW”, “JAISW” JAISW.
The Parliament passed the WAQF amendment at its budget meeting, which has since been agreed by President Droupadi Murmu. The WAQF Act aims to increase the efficiency of the WAQF board, improve the registration process and improve the role of technology in managing WAQF records.
Changes in the Indian WAQF law from 1913 to 2024 demonstrate efforts to protect and manage WAQF property while ensuring proper management systems. Each law aims to address current issues while maintaining the primary purpose of WAQF donations. WAQF Amendment 2025 is an important step in making WAQF management more transparent, responsible and inclusive.
The WAQF Amendment aims to create a secular, transparent and responsible system for WAQF management. Although WAQF property achieves religious and charitable purposes, its management involves legal, financial and administrative responsibilities requiring structural governance. The role of the WAQF Board and the Central WAQF Committee (CWC) is not religious, but regulatory, ensuring compliance with laws and protecting the public interest.
By introducing checks and balances, empowering stakeholders and improving governance, the bill sets a progressive and equitable framework for the administration of WAQF in India.
