Today, On 9th April, Samajwadi Party MP from Sambhal, Zia Ur Rehman Barq, has filed a case in the Supreme Court against the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. He said the new law is unfair to the Muslim community. According to him, it puts special restrictions on Waqf properties that are not there for other religions. He believes this law is against the idea of equality and religious freedom in India.
