A PIL has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking intervention over alleged constitutional failure to curb racially motivated violence, following the brutal assault and death of Tripura student Angel Chakma in Dehradun after an attack this month.
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju emphasized that the Waqf Amendment Act is meant to rectify irregularities in Waqf property management, not harm the Muslim community. He clarified that the central government does not unjustly seize properties and that the amendment respects tribal land protections. Ongoing Supreme Court hearings address various legal challenges to the Act.
