BNP on Sunday expressed optimism that the recently passed controversial Waqf (Amendment) Act 2025 in India’s Lok Sabha would be reconsidered in the interest of maintaining regional communal harmony.

"India is a large democratic country and the Indian government will reconsider this law, upholding the guardianship role of the state in protecting the religious rights of citizens of all religions... We express this hope,” said BNP Standing Committee member Salahuddin Ahmed at a press conference at the BNP chairperson’s Gulshan office, UNB reports.

Salahuddin said, “We believe that this step (to reconsider this law) will play a historic role in maintaining regional communal harmony."

He said the All India Muslim Personal Law Board and other like-minded organisations have termed the new law contradictory to the core spirit of the Islamic Waqf system.

According to the organisations, the Waqf Boards should be managed only by Muslims.

“They (the organisations) view this law as a direct interference in the religious rights of Muslim citizens,” he added.

The bill was passed in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday by a vote of 288-232. Later on Friday, the bill was cleared by a vote of 128-95. Indian President Droupadi Murmu has already given her assent to the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025.

Referring to the ancient Islamic endowment system of Waqf in India, Salahuddin said they analysed various provisions of this law and found that it attempts to curtail the rights of India’s minority Muslims and discriminate against them.

He said Muslims in India and various Muslim organisations have reacted by saying that the 'Muslim Waqf (Amendment) Bill-2024' is unconstitutional and politically motivated.

The BNP leader expressed concern that the law, which goes against the traditions, rights, and interests of some 20 crore Muslims — about 14 per cent of India’s population — creates ample scope for misuse. It could lead to disastrous consequences in the management of Islamic religious institutions, he said.

He said some 10 lakh acres of Waqf property under Waqf Boards in India and most of the lands are used for public welfare purposes such as mosques, madrasas, graveyards, and orphanages. The inclusion of non-Muslim members in the governing boards under the new law has sparked controversy and could infringe upon the constitutional rights of Muslim citizens, he added.

"We (BNP) believe that it is not appropriate to take any such step at the state level, as it may lead to the fear of destroying communal harmony due to interference in the religious rights of Muslims and discriminatory behaviour,” said Salahuddin.

He also said that giving non-Muslims authority over the administration and management of these religious properties is tantamount to direct interference in the religious rights of Muslim citizens.

BNP Chairperson’s advisory council member Ismail Zabihullah and its law affairs secretary Barrister Kaiser Kamal were also present at the press conference.​

If you call the writings of Abul A'la Maududi "Jihadi literature" than may Ma Saraswati help you. He was a modernizer of Islamic thought and an Islamic revivalist. Which is the opposite of jihadist philosophy.

"He also learned English and German to study, intensively, Western philosophy, sociology, and history for full five years: he eventually came up to the conclusion that "ulama' in the past did not endeavor to discover the causes of Europe's rise, and he offered a long list of philosophers whose scholarship had made Europe a world power: Fichte, Hegel, Comte, Mill, Turgot, Adam Smith, Malthus, Rousseau, Voltaire, Montesquieu, Darwin, Goethe, and Herder, among others. Comparing their contribution to that of Muslims, he concluded that the latter did not reach even 1 percent."

I mean - criticizing people is fine, but at least be accurate. Not all Muslims are mad propagators of Jihadist philosophy.

However - I do understand that today's incumbent BJP and RSS administration in India does not like his writings (characterizes them as extremist) and even forced Aligarh Muslim University recently to drop his writings from the syllabus. So be it.

AMU drops works of Maududi from Islamic Studies syllabus

Aligarh: The Aligarh Muslim University has removed the works of 20th century Islamic authors Abul Ala al-Maududi and Sayyid Qutub from the syllabus of Islamic Studies Department following claims that the content was objectionable. About 20 scholars had recently written to Prime Minister Narendra...

No matter what Islamic literature it is. It promotes ignorance and radicalism including Quran. Islam Jahil kabilo se nikali hui ideology hai. Mohammad sex maniac tha. You can't expect anything batter where Islam is practiced in any form. Best way is to ditch Islam and Islamic practices. This is the reason that wherever Islam is practiced, people are jahil. Where it is practiced more people are more jahil. For example Indian Muslims. Where people practice it just for the sake of saying, they are batter. For example Iram, Indonesia. BD under Hasina had done very well and I was a big admirer of BD' economic policies. Now see what is happening. BD's suppl chains are getting disrupt. BD, which was a big possibility is losing its shine under idiot yusuf.

Mohammad sex maniac tha.

If Mohammad (PBUH) was a sex maniac, your Shiv was a super sex maniac with so many wives. You guys still worship his penis which confirms how big sex maniac Shiv was. Peace.

Guys let's not mention religious personalities, whether fictitious or real, because this will make the thread turn into a mud-slinging crap-fest. Krishan Dada, let's not make incendiary comments on prophets who are revered by Muslims. This makes things controversial.

While I understand your personal feelings on this, let's not go into controversial characterizations.

Shiva has only one wife not many. Shiva is not any physical being but the external self existing power who along with shakti created this universe. People worship Shiva by giving shapeless, external power. Moreover, in the sex maniac Islamist literature Penis and vegina are just organ to fulfill lust. In Hinduism, they are considered sacred organs of creation without which the whole world will collapse. This is the basic difference between 2 thinking and why 1.8 bn Muslims have nothing to show as contribution to modern world.
