"Waqf Act to benefit common Muslims": CM Saha as Tripura BJP announces campaign in favour

The Bharatiya Janata Party-led government in Tripura is all set to launch a campaign favouring the controversial Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. The move aims to dispel the "misconception" spread by the opposition parties.

Speaking to reporters, Tripura BJP president Rajib Bhattacharjee informed that the campaign will be launched on April 20 and will continue till May 5.

A meeting was held to discuss the campaign in favour of the Waqf Amendment Act which was attended by Chief Minister Manik Saha, state party president, Lok Sabha MP Biplab Kumar Deb and BJP national secretary Anil Antony.

Saha said the Waqf Amendment Act will benefit the common Muslims, especially women.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi believes in ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikash and Sabka Vishwas’ … The opposition was sceptical over the abolishment of Triple Talaq but it has ensured the dignity of minority women. The Waqf Amendment Act will also bring positive results for the poor people belonging to the Muslim community,” he said.

Antony told the reporters that the Waqf Amendment Act is aimed at uplifting the millions of poor Muslims.
