In a post on X, DMK supremo recalled that since the passage of the said bill, his party has tried to counter the BJP’s attempt to “misuse governmental power” through both legislative and judicial means.

“The DMK has consistently opposed these amendments from the time the Bill was introduced in Parliament. After it became an Act, the DMK challenged it in the Supreme Court and succeeded, alongside others. The DMK Government also passed an assembly resolution urging the Union Government to withdraw the Waqf Amendment Bill, countering the BJP’s attempt to misuse governmental power,” Stalin wrote on X.

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to stay the entire Wagf (Amendment) Act 2025, but put on hold certain provisions pending the final adjudication of petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the Act
