Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind demands withdrawal of Waqf Act, says 'no amendment should affect religious character'

Wakf Amendment Act 2025: At the executive committee meeting, the Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind passed a resolution addressing the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, raising significant objections and concerns. The proposal emphasised that the amendment not only violates several provisions of the Indian Constitution, specifically Articles 14, 15, 21, 25, 26, 29, and 300-A, but also threatens the fundamental structure of Waqf. One of the most concerning elements of the amendment is the abolition of 'Waqf by User,' which could endanger the existence of religious places historically designated as Waqf. According to government reports, the number of such properties is more than four lakh.
