Chennai, Apr 17 (Reporter) Terming the Waqf Amendment Act enacted by the
BJP-led Government at the Centre as malafide with the sole intent of targetting
the Muslim community, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK President MK Stalin
on Thursday evening hailed the Supreme Court's interim order that safeguards
Waqf properties and restrains the appointment of non-Muslims to Waqf Boards
and Councils.
In a social media post, he welcomed and thanked the SC order and said he was
happy that the judicial review has flagged many regressive provisions of the Act
as highlighted by the DMK in its petition challenging the Act.
Mr Stalin also asserted that the DMK will leave no stone unturned to defend the
Constitutional rights of the minority brethren.
"I thank the Hon’ble Supreme Court for hearing the DMK’s petition challenging
the #WaqfAmendmentAct, 2025, along with other petitions and for passing an
interim order that safeguards Waqf properties and restrains the appointment
of non-Muslims to Waqf Boards and Councils", Mr Stalin wrote on X.
"This malafide Amendment Act was enacted by the Union Government with the
sole intent of targeting the Muslim community, by interfering in the administration
of their charitable endowments and core religious practices", he said.
"Happy that the judicial review has flagged many regressive provisions of the Act,
as highlighted by us", the Chief Minister posted.
"We will leave no stone unturned to defend the constitutional rights of our minority
brethren!", he added...////...
