Akhilesh Yadav Reacts to Likely Amendments to Waqf Board: ‘We Will Oppose It’

The central government is all set to bring a Bill in Parliament to amend the 1995 law governing Waqf Boards. Sources said the government will amend the Wakf Act to ensure more accountability and transparency in the functioning of Waqf Boards and mandatory inclusion of women in these bodies.

"We Samajwadis have seen Janeshwar Mishra from up close. He is such kind of leader who worked for farmers, poor, labours, deprived to restore their dignity. He worked on the principles of Samajwadi. His life was full of struggles. When he reached to pinnacle to power, he did not do away with the simplicity of his life. People from all sections of the society would meet him. He kept everyone together," SP chief Akhilesh Yadav.

Reacting to reports, AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday said the NDA government wants to take away the autonomy of the waqf board.
