UP BJP to launch awareness campaign on Waqf reform Apr 20

Lucknow, Apr 17 (UNI) In a bid to create awareness regarding the newly passed Waqf (Amendment) Act among the public, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will launch Waqf Reform Public Awareness Campaign in the entire state from April 20.
State president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary and general secretary (Organisation) Dharampal Singh held a meeting through virtual medium on Thursday and discussed with the party officials regarding the campaign.
During the meeting state president Chaudhary said the Waqf Amendment Act 2024 neither abolishes any law nor takes away anyone's rights, it is just an amendment which will make the process of Waqf Board more transparent and equitable.
He said the central government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken the step to ensure the rights of poor Muslims, women and people of other religions. "But the opposition parties are continuously creating an atmosphere of lies and confusion due to vote bank politics. We have to go among the public and expose the lies being spread by the opposition regarding the Waqf (Amendment) Act," he said.
General secretary Dharampal Singh discussed in detail the action plan prepared by the party in the context of the Waqf Reform Public Awareness Campaign from April 20. He said a state level workshop has been organised in the capital Lucknow on April 19.
He said workshops will be organised on Jan Jagran Abhiyan at all the 6 organisational areas of the state between April 20 to 21 and at the district/metropolitan level on April 23 and 24.
Singh said that the opposition parties are facing problems due to the Waqf Amendment Act 2025. "Because with this amendment the whole system will become transparent. The common poor Muslim will start getting the benefit of the Waqf money," he said.
He said the opposition leaders are now continuously working to mislead the Muslims and we should not let the opposition's conspiracy succeed.
The state general secretary said, "Under the Waqf Reform Public Awareness Campaign, we have to go to town halls, citizen dialogues, dialogues with Muslim scholars, among women, youth and various sections of the society and explain in detail about this Act." UNI AB SSP
