New Delhi | National Desk — The Waqf Bill, now given legal shape, has become the latest political battlefield. In a bold move to flip the narrative, the Sangh Parivar and the central government have launched a nationwide outreach blitz, aiming to demolish opposition claims and expose decades of alleged Waqf property misuse.
At the center of this strategy is the Rashtriya Muslim Manch (RMM), which will organize 100 press conferences and 500 seminars across the country to clarify that the new law doesn’t attack Islam or religious freedom — instead, it seeks to liberate Waqf properties from elite control and restore them to the community, especially Pasmanda (backward) Muslims.
🧭 The Real Narrative: Ashraf vs Pasmanda?
While critics allege the government wants to seize Muslim religious assets, the government counters with a narrative of social justice. The Pasmanda Muslim card, which proved politically potent in Bihar in the past, is back in play. Seminar speakers from the backward Muslim community will be at the forefront, driving home the point: “This law is not anti-Muslim — it’s anti-monopoly.”
“This is about dignity, equality, and justice for those who’ve been sidelined for decades,” said Indresh Kumar, patron of the National Muslim Forum.
“The law is meant to bring harmony, not division.”
🔍 Waqf Scam Files: Government’s Big Reveal Coming?
According to a senior minister, the government will release evidence within two months showing how Waqf lands were misused:
Mosques on paper turned into shops and malls
Undeclared heirs controlling vast assets
High-value land kept unproductive for political control
“Why were crores in potential revenue reduced to mere peanuts? Who benefited? The truth will explode soon,” the minister hinted.
🗳️ Bihar: Ground Zero for Political Experiment
The first major test of the Waqf narrative will be Bihar Assembly Elections in October. With 17% Muslim population, and 73% of them Pasmanda, the BJP-JDU alliance is going all in to fracture traditional Muslim vote banks and reposition itself as a savior of the marginalized within the community.
“We can’t get fewer Muslim votes than we already did,” a JDU insider said. “Supporting this law is not only ethical — it’s electorally practical.”
CM Nitish Kumar, known for his past overtures to the Pasmanda bloc, is expected to champion the law as a historic correction of intra-Muslim caste imbalances.
📢 What’s Next?
500+ awareness events in 60 days
Public data on Waqf misuse to be released
Targeted campaigns in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal
🔥 Conclusion: More Than Just a Law
The Waqf Bill isn’t just legislation — it’s a political reordering. With caste-based equity inside the Muslim community now at the center of national strategy, Ashraf vs Pasmanda may be the next big fault line in Indian politics.
