Union Minister Kiren Rijiju tabled the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, in Lok Sabha on Wednesday. Addressing the House, he said, "The most draconian provision in the Act was Section 40, under which the Waqf Board could declare any land Waqf property. But we've removed that provision." "This provision was misused to such...extent that...number of properties increased to millions," he added.
