Maharashtra SP Chief Abu Azmi Voices Disappointment Over Supreme Court’s Waqf Amendment Act Order

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.
