Historic Midnight Victory: Waqf Bill Passed in Rajya Sabha – A Landmark Achievement for Modi Government
In a groundbreaking moment for India, the Modi Government has etched its name in history with the passage of the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, in the Rajya Sabha. The bill, a significant legislative move under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, was approved in the early hours of April 3, 2025, with a decisive vote of 128 in favor and 95 against.
This midnight triumph, achieved after a marathon debate, marks a historic day for the nation and underscores PM Modi’s promise of a transformative third tenure.
A Resounding Win for the NDA
The Rajya Sabha’s approval of the Waqf Bill came after a fierce 12-hour debate between the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the opposition INDIA bloc. With 128 votes from the government and its allies overpowering the opposition’s 95, all amendments proposed by the opposition were soundly defeated.
This victory is a testament to the Modi Government’s unwavering resolve and its ability to push through landmark reforms, reinforcing the popular slogan:
“Modi Hai to Mumkin Hai!” (With Modi, anything is possible!)
Why the Waqf Bill Matters
The Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, aims to revolutionize the management of Waqf properties across India.
Key Provisions:
✅ Enhanced Transparency – Introduction of a centralized portal for automated Waqf property management.
✅ Inclusive Governance – Representation of Muslim women and non-Muslims in Waqf boards to promote diversity and accountability.
✅ Efficient Dispute Resolution – Strengthened Waqf tribunals with a structured selection process and fixed tenure.
✅ Economic Empowerment – Special provisions for widows, divorced women, and orphans, ensuring equitable distribution of inheritance before Waqf declarations.
The bill, now awaiting President Droupadi Murmu’s assent to become law, is poised to:
🔹 Streamline the administration of Waqf properties.
🔹 Curb misuse of assets.
🔹 Uplift marginalized sections of the Muslim community, particularly the Pasmanda Muslims.
PM Modi’s Vision Realized
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised that his third term would be defined by bold, historic decisions. The passage of the Waqf Bill stands as a shining example of that commitment.
This landmark achievement further solidifies his legacy as a leader who delivers on promises. From transformative schemes like Jan Dhan Yojana and Ujjwala Yojana to this latest reform, Modi’s focus on:
“Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” (Together with all, Development for all)
continues to resonate across the nation.
Opposition Defeated, Unity Prevails
Despite fierce resistance from the opposition, including claims that the bill undermines minority rights, the Modi Government stood firm.
Union Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, who tabled the bill, emphasized:
“This bill is not against any community but aims to benefit crores of poor Muslims.”
The defeat of all opposition amendments highlights:
✅ NDA’s cohesive strength
✅ Lawmakers’ trust in PM Modi’s vision
✅ A commitment to inclusive governance
