“But the question is, what advantages did ordinary Muslims gained? What did the poor Muslim Pasman received? They were only exposed to neglect. They did not receive education, faced unemployment and Muslim women faced injustices such as Shah Bano, where their constitutional rights were sacrificed on the altar of fundamentalism.
The Prime Minister said that a similar attitude led to the division of the country in 1947, when the leaders of Congress would not erase the idea of an independent nation, which was treated by “some fundamentalists” and not ordinary Muslims.

He claimed that the modified law of WAQF was in the interest of society and the Muslim community.
“Congratulations to Parliament for the enactment of a wonderful law. Now the pious intention of WAQF and the rights of poor Muslims and children of Pasmand will also be protected,” Modi said.

Almost one Crore proposals were received from citizens throughout the country. This emphasizes that it emphasizes that the chairman is underlined.
