Days after the Central Government led by Narendra Modid managed to pass the WAQF Change Act in Parliament, David Munnetr Kazhagam (DMK) filed a petition to the Supreme Court on Monday.
DMK Lok Sabha Whip and Deputy Secretary General, Raja, filed on behalf of the party in court. Earlier April 2, when Lok Sabha addressed, he launched a frightened attack on the law because he called it a direct threat to minority rights and judicial integrity.
In his address, Raja criticized the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijija of the bill and accused him of presenting a “and and Bull story” of parliament.
DMK deputy claimed that the change was an attempt to change ownership rights under growing reforms and add that it would dismantle the current legal protection to minority institutions.
Not only Raja urged the government to respect Indian secular and constitutional values, but warned them that the bill could have long -term negative consequences for the democratic framework of the country.
“If we want to preserve the Indian democratic and secular character, we must oppose the attempts to blur the boundaries between administration and religion,” Raja added.
On 5 April, President Droubadi Murmu presented her consent to the draft law of WAQF (amendment), 2025, which was approved by parliament after heated debates in both houses.
Aimplb moves SC:
On Monday, PTI reported not only DMK, even the Council for Personal Legal Law for Personal Legal Law throughout India.
At the end of April 6, she filed an action at the Supreme Court to the Supreme Court.
Aimplb spokesman SQR Ilyas stated in a press statement that the petition had strongly protested against the changes received by the parliament for being “arbitrary, discriminatory and based on exclusion”.
Ilyas added in the aimplb that the law violated only the fundamental rights guaranteed under Articles 25 and 26 Indian Constitution, but also clearly revealed the government’s intention to take full control of the WAQF administration.
The newly strengthened law deprives Muslims of these fundamental rights, he added.
“Changes in the selection of Central Waqf and Waqf Boards are based on sharp evidence of this deprivation. Moreover, the five -year WAQIF (donor) requirement, which is a practitioner, is contrary to the Indian legal framework and Article 14 and 25 Constitution, as well as the Islamic Sharia principles.”
