• Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that the Waqf (Amendment) Act of 2025 was enacted in response to over 1,700 complaints received from various Muslim communities, including women and widows, regarding injustices related to waqf properties.
• These complaints, received after Modi's 2019 re-election, highlighted issues such as wrongful claims on community properties by waqf authorities, prompting the government to initiate reforms aimed at resolving these grievances and ensuring justice, particularly for vulnerable individuals like widows.
