The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi on Monday alleged BJP of deliberately diverting the attention from the serious issues of the country and said that the proposed amendments to the Waqf Act are just a gimmick from the BJP, the ANI reported.

According to the ANI sources the proposed amendments are likely to make it mandatory for the Waqf Board to register its property in the District Collector's office so that the property can be evaluated. The amendments also aim to enhance inclusivity by ensuring women's representation on the Central Waqf Council and state boards.
