AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and Congress MP Mohammad Jawed challenged the Waqf Amendment Bill 2025 in the Supreme Court on Friday.
In his petition, Owaisi argued that the provisions of the bill ‘blatantly violate the fundamental rights of Muslims and the Muslim community’, news agency IANS reported. Meanwhile, Mohammad Jawed filed a PIL in the Supreme Court challenging the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, as per news agency ANI.
He told ANI, “Several people in India will file this petition; several parties will do this… In the Parliament, everyone in the Opposition said that this is unconstitutional. This is a religious body – you are providing freedom to non-Muslims… How can you snatch away our right? … How can you do this violation? If you have numbers, it doesn’t mean you get passed anything you passed and do something unlawful… We have challenged this. We hope that the Supreme Court will take cognisance of this and this will be repealed (Bill) at the earliest.”
The legislation now awaits President Droupadi Murmu‘s assent to become law.
