Shimla, April 6 -- Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Mandi Kangana Ranaut on Saturday said the Congress' 'leniency' towards Waqf boards led to them flouting norms. The actor-turned-politician hailed the passage of Waqf (Amendment) Bill by the Parliament, claiming it will address the issue of 'largescale land-grabbing'.

Addressing a rally at the start of her five-day visit, in the Majhvad area of Mandi constituency, she alleged there was a 'big conspiracy' behind the formation of Waqf boards, even before Independence.

The country is suffering till now because of that, she said.

The BJP MP said the new legislation will address the issue of significant encroachments.

Parliament approved the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, early on Friday...
