Officials said community members told Modi that the amended law had been their long-pending demand, and that they reposed faith in his vision of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas'

Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju also attended the meeting

Following the meeting, PM Modi took to social media platform X and wrote, "Had a wonderful meeting with members of the Dawoodi Bohra community! We talked about a wide range of issues during the interaction"

During the interaction, one of the community members told PM Modi that they had been seeking exemption from the Waqf regulations since 1923 and lauded him for taking care of the "minority within a minority" with the new law that allows them to opt-out

Another member shared that their community had bought an expensive property for a project in Bhindi Bazaar, a market in Mumbai. However, in 2015 someone from Nashik laid claim over it as a Waqf property in 2019
