Mufti Shamoon Qasmi, chairman of Uttarakhand Madrasa Education Board, has come out in support of the Waqf Amendment Act, 2025.

Addressing the media here today, Qasmi termed the Act as a historic step for the Muslim community and criticised the Congress Party and some Muslim organisations for opposing it.

“The Waqf Amendment Act, 2025, will ensure transparency and accountability in the management of Waqf properties, so that these properties can be used for the welfare of the Muslim community,” he said.

The Act will not only check corruption in the Waqf Board but will also ensure that Waqf properties are effectively used for educational, social and economic development of the community, he added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
