The Minister said that Mr. Sibal has created confusion on the bill by comparing properties of Waqf bodies with those of other religious bodies.
During the discussion on The Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2025, Mr. Sibal opposed the proposed legislation and said that there were also rights for non-Muslims to make Waqf.
"When it is my land then who are you to make law for that," he said.
He mentioned the different high court judgements before independence upheld, making Waqf even by Hindus and in some cases for welfare of Muslims like giving land for graveyard (by Hindus). He noted that there are 32 Waqf boards in different states.
