Welcome to the provisional order of the Supreme Court on the Law of the WAQF amendment, 2025, Congress on Thursday (April 17, 2025) said that the party opposes the law amended not for the good of any participation but to protect the constitutional principles.

In a publication on X, the Secretary General of Congress (Organization) KC Venufopal said that the observations of the Superior Court on the WAQF law have put in focus “the aperutensions raised by India [Indian National Inclusive Developmental Alliance] Parts inside and outside the Parliament. ”

“They have opened the space for a broader and more necessary debate on the legitimate groups that surround this hasty legislation: the groups that were adequately addressed to the JPC [joint parliamentary committee] Deliberations or after the discussion of a day in Parliament, “Venufopal said.

Going to a press conference with the president of the Department of Minorities of Congress Imran Pratapgarhi, the main lawyer Abhishek Singhvi said that the WAQF Law amendments is not a reform but a meticulously scrubed retaliation with the capacity to capacity

Mr. Singhvi said that behind the “soft governance language is the bold ambition of control” and religious autonomy is being reduced to the state adult protocol.

“We are not here to defend a single community. We are here to defend a constitutional principle: that the rights of a few cannot be sacrificed at the altar of the majority comfort,” he said.

“If article 26 can be amputated in the name of efficiency, then no freedom is safe and no sacred institution. This is not the future that the editors of our Constitution imagine, and it is not the future that we will allow,” added Mr. Singhvi.
