He emphasized that BJP workers would proactively engage with Muslim brothers and sisters across the country to expose the lies and clearly explain the real purpose and benefits of the new law.

Union Minister for Minority Affairs Kiren Rijiju also took part in the workshop where he provided an in-depth insights into the Waqf reforms. For this training session, BJP had invited three to four leaders from each state, including the Minority Morcha President of every state. These state-level leaders have now been given task of organising similar workshops in their respective states to train district-level BJP leaders.

The BJP views this campaign as a strategy to strengthen its outreach to the Muslim community, particularly ahead of the upcoming assembly elections. By raising awareness and clarifying the changes made to the Waqf law, BJP seeks to challenge opposition's narrative and build trust among Muslim voters.

BJP wants to ensure that the truth about the Waqf reforms reaches the grassroots level, and that every Muslim citizen is informed that how this bill works for their betterment about how these changes are meant to empower and uplift the underprivileged community.

On Saturday, President Murmu granted her assent to Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, officially making it a law.
