New Delhi: Congress MP Mohammad Javed has filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging the recently passed Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, alleging it discriminates against Muslims and violates their fundamental rights.
The bill, cleared by both Houses of Parliament after heated 12-hour debates on April 2–3, awaits presidential assent. Javed, a member of the joint parliamentary committee on the bill, argues it imposes "arbitrary restrictions" on religious endowments under Islamic law.
