Srinagar, Apr 17 (UNI) J&K politicians, including Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, on Thursday welcomed the Supreme Court’s interim order which stays critical provisions of Waqf (Amendment) Act 2025.
The Supreme Court is hearing various petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the recently passed Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. The apex court has issued an interim stay on the implementation of the controversial amendments to the Waqf Act.
Omar Abdullah said the Supreme Court’s observations and the subsequent climbdown by the Union Government on the Waqf Bill have vindicated his party’s decision to challenge the legislation in the country’s top court.
