Prime Minister Narendra Modi poses with a delegation of the Dawoodi Bohra community.

A delegation of Dawoodi Bohra community met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday to thank him for piloting the Waqf Amendment Act recently passed by the Parliament and now enacted as law after the presidential assent.

Community leaders told the PM that it was a long-pending demand of the Bohras.

The group reposed faith in PM’s vision of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas.

The meeting came even as the government undertook not to act on certain provisions of the Waqf law on which the Supreme Court, hearing challenges to the law, expressed reservations on Wednesday.
