New Delhi: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) MP Asaduddin Owaisi moved the Supreme Court on Friday, April 4, challenging the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, which was passed by both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha and is now awaiting the President’s approval to become a law.
Owaisi’s petition claims that the revised Bill is “unconstitutional.”
Earlier today, Congress MP Mohammad Jawed also filed a petition against the Bill, alleging it is discriminatory towards the Muslim community and infringes upon their fundamental rights.
In his statement given to ANI, Jawed said, “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 We hope that Supreme Court will take cognisance of this and this will be repealed (Bill) at the earliest.”
