<h1>Waqf autonomy threatened as proposed amendments increase state control and reduce community representation, prompting calls for dialogue.</h1> The Waqf (Amendment) Bill is argued to threaten the autonomy and protective regime of Waqf properties by expanding executive control-granting collectors powers to alter revenue records and remove protected status-and by reducing Muslim representation on central and state Waqf bodies, raising risks of communal dispute, litigation, and state appropriation; the MMU urges discussion and invokes Article 25 concerns regarding religious and charitable functions and community welfare.
