President Droupadi Murmu signs Waqf (Amendment) bill 2025 into law

 This came days after the contentious bill was passed by both houses of the Parliament, after hours of debate.

The Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2025 officially became a law on Saturday as it got the assent of President Droupadi Murmu. President Droupadi Murmu also gave her assent to the Mussalman Wakf (Repeal) Bill, 2025.

"The following Act of Parliament received the assent of the president on April 5, 2025, and is hereby published for general information: The Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025," the government said in a notification, PTI reported.

This came days after the contentious bill was passed by both Houses of Parliament after hours of debate. While the Lok Sabha cleared the bill early Thursday morning, the Rajya Sabha passed it on Friday after a similarly long and fiery discussion.

The bill is already facing challenges in the Supreme Court, with Congress MP Mohammad Jawed and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi contesting its constitutional validity in separate pleas.

Both Houses ran past midnight while engaging in discussion and debate over the Bill. Along with the Waqf Amendment Bill, the Rajya Sabha also passed the Mussalman Wakf (Repeal) Bill, 2024, after a 17-hour sitting, a day after it was cleared by the lower house.
PM Narendra Modi called the passing of the Waqf bill a ‘watershed moment’

Hours after Rajya Sabha passed the controversial Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025 and Mussalman Wakf (Repeal) Bill on Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called it a “watershed moment”, saying the bills will help marginalised people who have been denied voice and opportunity.

He also expressed gratitude to the members of Parliament and the people who shared their inputs with the Joint Parliamentary Committee appointed to make recommendations on the bill.

“The passage of the Waqf (Amendment) Bill and the Mussalman Wakf (Repeal) Bill by both Houses of Parliament marks a watershed moment in our collective quest for socio-economic justice, transparency, and inclusive growth. This will particularly help those who have long remained on the margins, thus being denied both voice and opportunity,” a part of Modi's long post on X read.

The debate over the Bill saw a showdown, as expected, between the Centre and the Opposition in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju tabled the Bill in both Houses and said that it doesn’t violate or take away the rights of any community. The Opposition, however, insisted that the Bill was “unconstitutional” and “anti-Muslim”.

BJD in turmoil over Waqf Bill vote: Naveen Patnaik urged to act against MP Sasmit Patra for voting in favour of legislation

 The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) is grappling with internal unrest following Rajya Sabha MP Sasmit Patra’s support for the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025. Senior party leaders, including former minister Pratap Jena, have urged party president Naveen Patnaik to take disciplinary action, marking the first major intra-party challenge since the BJD's defeat in the 2024 state elections. Jena wrote to Patnaik, demanding accountability for Patra’s stance. The issue intensified after BJD Vice-President Debi Prasad Mishra described the bill as a “debatable issue” and said, “It is up to BJD MPs whether they want to support it or not.” The bill, passed narrowly in both Houses of Parliament, seeks to amend the 1995 Waqf Act to improve property management and digital record-keeping. Congress MP Jairam Ramesh accused the BJD of "capitulating to BJP pressures at the last minute," weakening opposition strength in the Rajya Sabha. "The 95 number would have been more had not the BJD capitulate...

Supreme Court's Landmark Verdict On Governor's Powers In Tamil Nadu Case

 In a massive win for the MK Stalin-led Tamil Nadu government, the Supreme Court today ruled that Governor RN Ravi's decision to withhold assent to 10 key Bills was "illegal" and "arbitrary". The court ruled that the Governor cannot reserve Bills for the President after withholding assent. "The action of the Governor to reserve the 10 bills for the President is illegal and arbitrary. Thus, the action is set aside. All actions taken by the Governor thereto for the 10 bills are set aside. These Bills shall be deemed to be cleared from the date it was re-presented to the Governor," the bench of Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice R Mahadevan said. The court said Governor Ravi did not act in "good faith". Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK chief MK Stalin described the verdict as "historic". "It's a big victory not just for Tamil Nadu but for all Indian states. DMK will continue to struggle for and win state autonomy and federal po...
