Lok Sabha MP and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi has also separately challenged the Bill in the Supreme Court. Mr. Owaisi, represented by advocate Nizam Pasha, argued that Waqfs, their establishment, management and administration, form an integral aspect of the practice of Islam and entitled to Constitutional protection.
“While Parliament represents the will of the people, in today’s era of majoritarian politics, the Supreme Court has to discharge its constitutional duty as a sentinel on the qui vive to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority,” Mr. Owaisi urged.
