Reacting to the SC's observations, Congress said the Waqf Amendment Act is not just 'legally flawed' but 'morally vacuous' and that 'attacks' the very soul of the Constitution.

Congress MP Abhishek Singhvi said the law attacks the rights of minorities in the name of reform and the party will not allow this to happen as the framers of the Constitution had not envisioned this.
