CPI General Secretary D. Raja Filed a Writ Petition Before Supreme Court Challenging WAQF Act

Communist Party of India (CPI), through its General Secretary Thiru D. Raja has filed a writ petition before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India today viz. 9th April 2025 through advocate Ram Sankar, challenging the constitutional validity of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025 and the provisions inserted and omitted by it in the Waqf Act, 1995.

The Communist Party of India, the revolutionary vanguard of socialism and communism has perpetually worked for the socio-economic development of minorities, backward and marginalised classes in the country. The Communist Party of India in alliance with the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) had supported a resolution dated 27 March, 2025 moved by the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Thiru. M.K. Stalin in the Legislative Assembly urging the Union Government to withdraw the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025 as it had adverse effect on the fundamental rights of Muslim’s community in India.

Despite the opposition from the masses, the Waqf Amendment Bill, 2025 was passed by the Union Government without proper consideration of the objections raised by the members of the JPC and the other stakeholders. The points raised by the members of parliament of the Communist Party of India were also not considered.

Since the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025 has been notified on 06.04.2025, as the fundamental rights of the Muslim minority community have been affected severely and the immediate implementation of the Act infringes and prejudices the rights of about 50 lakh Muslims in Tamil Nadu and 20 crore Muslims in the other parts of the country, the CPI (DMK) has challenged the provisions of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, before the Supreme Court of India.
