The Waqf Amendment Bill 2025, passed by the Lok Sabha on April 2, 2025, after a heated 12-hour debate, is making waves. With 288 votes in favour and 232 against, the bill—now renamed the Unified Waqf Management, Empowerment, Efficiency, and Development (UMEED) Act—aims to bring transparency to Waqf property management. Key changes include scrapping the controversial Section 40, which allowed Waqf Boards to claim any land as their own, and mandating non-Muslim representation in Waqf councils. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju says it’s about efficiency, not religion, but critics like AIMIM’s Asaduddin Owaisi call it an attack on Muslim rights. The bill now heads to the Rajya Sabha—stay tuned for more updates!
