India, April 4 -- Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday hailed the passage of the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, calling it a historic step that ends "years of injustice and corruption" in the management of Waqf properties. His reaction came hours after the Rajya Sabha cleared the bill, a day after it was passed in the Lok Sabha.

Taking to social media platform X, Shah wrote in Hindi, "Today is a historic day, when Parliament approved the 'Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025', ending decades of injustice and corruption, and ushering in an era of justice and equality."

He said the new law will make the Waqf Board and Waqf properties more accountable, transparent, and equitable, benefiting the poor, women, and children of the Muslim community.
