Maharashtra Samajwadi Party Chief Abu Asim Azmi expressed disappointment over the Supreme Court’s interim order on the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, stating it brings “no substantial benefits” to Muslims. While the court stayed some provisions—including the five-year practicing Muslim clause and collectors’ power over waqf disputes—Azmi criticized the lack of reforms on core issues like verification, pre-independence waqf records, and Muslim leadership in waqf boards. He reiterated demands for the Bill’s rejection, arguing it undermines religious rights without solving encroachment or transparency concerns.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has announced he will adopt 22 children orphaned by Pakistan’s shelling during Operation Sindoor, pledging to support their education, healthcare, and overall well-being.

During a fiery Lok Sabha debate on Operation Sindoor, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi launched a scathing attack on the BJP-led government, questioning security lapses, the abrupt ceasefire with Pakistan, and the lack of accountability post-Pahalgam terror attack.

The 16-hour session highlighted growing public and political pressure on the government for clear answers on national security.
