Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday said that the passage of the Waqf Amendment Bill has ended "injustice" and "corruption". He said an era of justice and equality has commenced as the Parliament approved amendments to the Waqf Act.

During a debate on the Waqf amendment bill in the Lok Sabha, Amit Shah said that non-Muslims in Waqf councils and boards are meant purely to ensure the administration of properties in accordance with stated aims.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday rejected opposition members' criticism that the government wants to interfere in the religious conduct of Muslims through the Waqf Amendment Bill and said the provisions in the legislation aim at better management of Waqf properties.
