YSRCP welcomes Supreme Court order on  Waqf Amendment Act 2025

Kadapa, Sept 15: Former Deputy Chief Minister Amzath Basha said the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) welcomes the interim orders of the Supreme Court staying key provisions of the Waqf Amendment Act, 2025. He made it clear that the party will never tolerate any violation of the Constitution or injustice to the Muslim community.

Speaking to the media at his residence in Kadapa, Amzath Basha reminded that under the instructions of YSRCP President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the party MPs had voted against the Bill in both Houses of Parliament. He explained that even after the Bill was passed, YSRCP continued its fight in the Supreme Court, which has now given relief by staying some provisions.

He said the Court stayed the clause that required a person to practice Islam for five years before creating a Waqf. The Court also stopped the provision giving district collectors full powers to decide disputes between Waqf, government, and others. YSRCP had opposed these from the beginning.

Amzath Basha criticized the TDP and Jana Sena MPs for deceiving Muslims. He said they promised to oppose the Bill but voted in support, betraying the community. He assured that YSRCP will continue to stand by minorities and protect Waqf properties.
