Original review summary
FACTLY reports that no reports confirm Amit Shah made the statement about the 2026 UGC regulations. It says the video’s statement was made on 2 April 2025 in connection with the Waqf Amendment Bill, not the UGC regulations.[S1]
Additional context
The UGC notified the 2026 regulations on 13 January 2026. On 29 January, the Supreme Court stayed their implementation and directed that the 2012 regulations continue until the next hearing on 19 March 2026. [S1]
