Inclusion of non-Muslims in Waqf Board will curb corruption: BJP

Patna, Jan18 (UNI) BJP on Saturday strongly supported the proposed waqf board amendment bill, saying the inclusion of non-Muslims in the board will help in curbing corruption.
Danish Iqbal, BJP State Media Coordinator, participated in the Joint Parliamentary Committee meeting on the Waqf Board Bill and strongly supported the Waqf Board Amendment Bill 2024. He described the bill as a significant step towards the welfare of underprivileged and backward Muslims, emphasizing that its implementation would bring transparency to the board's functioning and effectively curb corruption.
During the meeting, Iqbal expressed his support for the inclusion of non-Muslims in the Waqf Board, calling it a progressive and balanced move. He clarified that non-Muslims do not solely refer to Hindus but also include Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Jains. This broader representation, he noted, would ensure accountability and promote fairness in the board’s operations. "Over the past 70 years, the Waqf Board has struggled to prevent corruption. This bill will act as a milestone in securing the rights of marginalized, backward, and Pasmanda communities," he stated.
