The Congress Party announced plans to challenge the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, in the Supreme Court. The bill, passed by Parliament amid contentious debate, faces criticism from opposition parties for its stance towards minority communities.

Congress leaders argue that the legislation contradicts constitutional principles. Despite strong objections labeling the bill 'anti-Muslim', it was approved in both houses of Parliament with significant majorities.

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and AICC General Secretary in-charge Jairam Ramesh reiterated their commitment to defending constitutional values, drawing parallels to ongoing legal challenges against other government amendments affecting minority rights and transparency.
