On Sunday, AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi slammed the BJP-led NDA government over the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, claiming that the new legislation seeks to undermine rather than preserve Waqf properties. Speaking at a press conference, the Hyderabad MP urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to scrap the law. Owaisi claimed that the measure lacked provisions to protect Waqf assets and accused the BJP of dishonesty. "This bill is designed to destroy Waqf Board and Waqf properties, not protect them," he asserted per the PTI report. 

According to the report, Owaisi argued that the bill sends a message to Muslims that the government seeks to seize Waqf's property. He called on the Prime Minister and the Cabinet to reconsider and rescind the draft legislation.
