Leading Muslim bodies have “cautiously” welcomed the Supreme Court’s decision to pause three key provisions in the Waqf (Amendment) Act until the petitions challenging the constitutionality of the Act are decided.
“The interim relief provided by the court has turned our hope into belief that justice is still alive in our country. The Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind will continue its legal and democratic struggle till the black law is repealed,” Arshad Madani, president of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind said.

Mr. Madani said the amended waqf law is a “direct attack on the Constitution” which grants “the right to equality and the freedom to practice any religion”, adding that the interim relief is “a victory of the spirit of the Constitution.”
