'Country's law has to be accepted....': HM Amit Shah's full speech on Waqf Amendment Bill

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, while participating in a debate over the contentious Waqf Amendment Bill 2025 in Lok Sabha (lower house of Parliament) on Wednesday, came down heavily on the previous UPA regime and delivered a sharp critique of the 2013 amendments to Waqf laws. Describing them as politically motivated measures introduced in hot-haste manner before the 2014 elections, he highlighted the significant consequences of these changes, including the “transfer of 123 VVIP properties” in Delhi’s Lutyens zone to Waqf authorities. HM Shah argued that the current Bill would not have been necessary had these amendments not been made. The Home Minister emphasised the Waqf Board's critical role in ensuring accountability and preventing financial mismanagement. He criticised the misuse of Waqf properties, citing examples such as 29,000 acres of Waqf land in Karnataka rented out, Rs 2 lakh crore worth of properties leased to private institutions for 100 years, and 500 acres leased to a five-star hotel for Rs 12,000 per month. ► Subscribe to The Economic Times for the latest video updates.
