Jammu, Apr 04: Raman Suri, Executive Member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), on Friday hailed the “historic” passage of the Waqf (Amendment) Bill and the Mussalman Waqf (Repeal) Bill in both Houses of Parliament.
“This landmark legislation, passed with unwavering resolve under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, marks a transformative moment in India’s journey toward transparency, accountability, and inclusive growth,” he said in a statement issued here.
“This victory is a testament to the relentless efforts of the Modi-led NDA government and the support of visionary leaders of alliance parties,” he added.
Suri reserved special praise for Union Home Minister Amit Shah, terming his speech in Parliament on the Waqf Amendment Bill as a “masterclass” in legislative skill and leadership.
“Amit Shah’s ability to navigate complex issues and out manoeuvre his opponents with characteristic wit is unparalleled. His masterful handling of the debate underscored the NDA government’s unwavering commitment to transparency and accountability,” he remarked. “Equally commendable was the role of Union Minister Kiren Rijiju, who presented the Bill in the Lok Sabha with meticulous preparation and devotion.”
The BJP leader slammed political parties for opposing the bill and supporting the “land-grabbing agenda”. “These parties will be remembered for centuries for siding with those who sought to seize lands and discriminate with poor Muslims,” he said.
Suri lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, saying his promise-keeping is the cornerstone of how the nation is governed. “From Gauvansh Sanrakshan to tackling Love Jihad conversion, Triple Talaq, Article 370, CAA-NRC, Ram Mandir, Uniform Civil Code, and now Waqf, every decision by PM Modi is aimed at making Bharat a strong and vibrant nation—one that leads from the front and shows the world how a nation is built,” he said, adding, “The passage of these bills is a triumph of justice over vested interests, a victory for the marginalised, and a step toward a more transparent and equitable India.”
