President Murmu Signs Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2025 Into Law Amid Legal and Political Storm
President Droupadi Murmu on Saturday gave her assent to the contentious Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, officially enacting it into law just days after it was passed by both Houses of Parliament following hours of intense debate. Alongside it, she also approved 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,” read an official government notification, as reported by PTI.
The passage of the bill has already triggered legal challenges, with Congress MP Mohammad Jawed and AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi filing separate petitions in the Supreme Court questioning its constitutional validity.
Both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha witnessed marathon sessions extending past midnight as lawmakers debated the implications of the legislation. The Rajya Sabha passed the Waqf Amendment Bill and the Mussalman Wakf (Repeal) Bill after a 17-hour sitting—just a day after their clearance in the lower house.
Following the passage, Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the moment as a historic one, calling it a “watershed moment” for the country. In a post on X, he said
The bills have sparked fierce opposition, with critics labeling them “unconstitutional” and “anti-Muslim.” Union Minister Kiren Rijiju, who tabled the bills in both Houses, maintained that the legislation does not infringe upon the rights of any community, countering the Opposition’s narrative.
As legal scrutiny unfolds and public debate intensifies, the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025 is set to remain a central focus of India’s socio-political discourse in the coming weeks.
