National Conference to challenge Waqf Amendment act in Supreme Court
Srinagar, April 09 (KINS): The National Conference will move the Supreme Court to challenge the Waqf Amendment Act, the party’s chief spokesperson and legislator Tanvir Sadiq announced on Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters outside the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly—shortly after the House was adjourned sine die—Sadiq as per KINS said the move comes under the directive of NC President Dr. Farooq Abdullah.
“On the direction of President Farooq Abdullah, the National Conference will file a writ petition in the Supreme Court. This legal battle will now be fought there,” Sadiq stated.
He described the Waqf Amendment Act as a serious constitutional infringement on the religious rights of the Muslim community, calling it “alarming interference.”
“The Act violates fundamental constitutional protections guaranteed under Articles 14, 15, 21, 25, 26, 29, and 300A. It is a direct attack on the religious freedom, equality, and property rights of Muslims across the country,” the NC spokesperson asserted.(KINS)
