National Conference to file writ petition in SC against Waqf Amendment Act

JAMMU: (Apr 9) National Conference will move the Supreme Court to file a writ petition against the Waqf Amendment Act, party’s chief spokesperson and legislator Tanvir Sadiq said on Wednesday.

“On the direction of President Farooq Abdullah, the National Conference will file a writ petition in the Supreme Court. This legal battle will now be fought there,” Sadiq told reporters outside J&K Assembly after the House was adjourned sine die late this afternoon.

He said the NC believes that this Act represents a constitutionally “alarming interference” in the religious affairs of the Muslim community. PTI
