The Union Ministry of Minority Affairs has drafted rules to implement the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, awaiting approval from the Union Law Ministry within 15-20 days. The act introduces significant changes to waqf property management in India, facing legal challenges and criticism from various groups. Training initiatives for implementing the rules have commenced.
TVK chief and actor-turned-politician Vijay has moved the Supreme Court challenging the constitutional validity of the Waqf Act. He joins a growing list of petitioners who argue that the Act is discriminatory and infringes upon fundamental rights. The case has sparked nationwide debate over religious laws and constitutional protections.
