New Delhi: Amid heated discussions over the Waqf Amendment Bill, 2025, Bollywood’s polarizing figure Kamaal R Khan (KRK) stirred fresh debate by claiming that Muslims should be "thankful" to PM Narendra Modi and Amit Shah for the BJP’s handling of Waqf reforms. His remarks on X (formerly Twitter) triggered mixed reactions, with some questioning his stance while others echoed his sentiment.
KRK, a self acclaimed critique, wrote, "Why call the BJP wrong if it does good work? Whatever Amit Shah said about the Waqf Board is completely correct. In fact, the BJP is doing excellent work for Muslims. All Muslims should thank PM Modi and Amit Shah."
His statement came after Union Home Minister Amit Shah clarified key aspects of the Waqf Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha, attempting to dispel fears of religious interference.
Shah firmly stated that non-Muslim members in the Waqf Board would only handle administrative duties, not religious matters. He emphasized that no non-Muslim would manage religious institutions under Waqf. The board’s religious functions remain exclusive to Muslims.
