Rising Bharat Summit 2025 Updates: Politics Of Appeasement Fuelled Waqf Protests Says PM Modi

Attacking opposition parties over protests around the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said they were rooted in “appeasement politics". In his first speech on the topic after the Bill was passed in Parliament last week, he strongly reacted to the intense debate over it.

“We can’t burden 21st century generations with the politics of 20th century. The protests around Waqf are rooted in the politics of appeasement," he said while delivering the keynote address on Day 1 of the Rising Bharat Summit 2025.
