Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah criticised the NDA government's plan to amend the law governing Waqf boards, claiming it is against minorities. The bill proposes changes to the Waqf Act, 1995, including ensuring representation of Muslim women and non-Muslims. The bill also seeks to rename the Waqf Act, 1995 as the Unified Waqf Management, Empowerment, Efficiency and Development Act, 1995.
