BJP MP Jagadish Shettar expressed strong support for the Waqf Amendment Bill set to be tabled in Parliament today, calling it a crucial piece of legislation for the welfare of the Muslim community. Shettar, speaking ahead of the bill's presentation, highlighted its importance and urged for smooth discussions in Parliament.

"The NDA government, led by Prime Minister Modi, is presenting this bill today in Parliament. It is a very important bill, and it should be discussed very smoothly," Shettar stated, emphasizing that the government's goal is to ensure that the Waqf properties benefit the common people, particularly the underprivileged within the Muslim community.

However, Shettar also took aim at the opposition, particularly the Congress, accusing them of engaging in "appeasement politics." "The only problem with Congress and other opposition parties is that they always want to do appeasement politics," he said, implying that the opposition's stance against the bill is politically motivated rather than rooted in genuine concern for the Muslim community.

The Waqf Amendment Bill, which has stirred considerable debate, aims to reform the management and use of Waqf properties to ensure they are utilized for the welfare of poor Muslims. Shettar's remarks reflect the BJP's position that the bill is a step towards transparency and fairness in the administration of Waqf assets.
