Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has launched the UMEED portal to enhance transparency and management of waqf properties in India. The platform ensures real-time data access and requires property registration within six months. It features a three-tier verification system, an online grievance redressal mechanism, and aims to benefit marginalized communities.
Amit Shah defended the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, stating it is not anti-religious and criticized opposition parties for spreading misinformation. He clarified the inclusion of non-Muslims in the Waqf Board is administrative only and aims to enhance transparency and prevent mismanagement of Waqf properties, dismissing fears among minorities as baseless.
