New Delhi, July 28 (NationPress) A significant panel discussion focused on the Waqf (Amendment) Act 2025 marked the conclusion of the legal internship program, organized by the Legal Cell of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Delhi Pradesh, aimed at law students, according to a party official.

During the closing ceremony of the legal internship program, dubbed Pravidhika, Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva highlighted that the initiative aimed to equip aspiring legal professionals with practical insights into legislative processes, legal research, public interest litigation, and policy-making, thus fostering a sense of national duty and constitutional accountability.

Sachdeva noted the crucial role of the Legal Cell and the legal community within the party. He emphasized that just as in other societal domains, both social media and traditional media have significantly impacted politics.

He pointed out that the procedures of the Election Commission have become increasingly legally intricate, elevating the Legal Cell's importance in the party's daily operations. He expressed pride in the Legal Cell's active contribution to facilitating party functions.

The panel was graced by legal luminaries and political figures, including Senior Advocate and MP Mahesh Jethmalani, constitutional authority Dr. B. Ramaswamy, and legal writer and social activist Monika Arora.

All speakers motivated the youth to uphold democratic values and constitutional principles.

A key feature of the ceremony was the panel discussion on the Waqf (Amendment) Act 2025. Senior Advocates Anil Soni and Monika Arora, along with Advocate Ramaswamy, discussed the historical background of the Act, transparency issues, and the necessity for legal reforms.

They welcomed the amendment as a crucial move to rectify an enduring legal disparity.

The panel clarified that under prior regulations, Waqf Boards possessed near-unlimited authority, often resulting in private properties being classified as Waqf without proper procedures.

The new Act aims to ensure transparency, judicial oversight, and protection of property rights through mandatory procedural safeguards, including notices, hearings, and the right to object.

Speakers underscored that this legislation is not anti-Waqf but pro-justice — promoting equality, fairness, and legal accountability. The amendment fortifies secularism by eliminating bias in religious property disputes.

Through the Pravidhika internship, participants acquired practical knowledge through research projects, expert sessions, and field excursions.
