Indian opposition parties say they will challenge a recently passed bill that reforms the laws that govern Islamic religious endowments in the country’s Supreme Court.

the Endowment amendment BillAnd praised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a “major landmark for reform and transparency”, approved by the Higher Parliament House early on Friday, a day after its approval by the House of Representatives.

Amendments to the 1995 law rules Islamic Endowments Non -Muslims will add to councils that run such real estate and give the government a greater role in verifying the validity of their lands.

The endowment refers to personal or immovable property – permanently Donate For religious or charitable purposes. The endowment properties cannot be sold or transferred.

The government says that the changes facing the laws governing the endowment real estate will help in combating corruption and mismanagement while enhancing diversity, but critics fear that they will undermine the rights of the Muslim minority in the country and can be used to confiscate historical aid and other property.

Two days of extensive discussions in Parliament on the draft law witnessed that the Congress Party condemns it as “unconstitutional”, as the leader of the party, Sonia Gandhi, described it as “a rude assault on the constitution.”

“It is a large part of the BJP strategy to preserve our society in a state of permanent polarization,” she said, referring to the right -wing Pharaya Gata Party, referring to the right -watched bharatiya janata party in Moody.

On Friday, Congress leader Jeram Ramish said that the party “will soon witness a challenge in the Supreme Court, a constitutional The draft law (amendment), 2024And the proposal is also called officially.

“We are confident and will continue to resist all Moody government attacks on the principles, rulings and practices contained in the constitution of India,” Ramish was published on X.

One of the most controversial changes in the endowment bill in its ownership law, which may affect hundreds of mosques, shrines and tombs. Many of these characteristics lack official documents where they were donated without legal records, for centuries.

Interior Minister Amit Shah, a nearby assistant, said that the changes will help “arrest people who rent real estate” to make individual gains.

“This money, which can be used to help develop minorities, is stolen,” he said.

But the leader of the Communist Party in India (Marxist), Sophaini Ali, accused the government of using the draft law to attract voters before the state elections in Bihar, the main state of North India, which did not rule the Bharatia Jatata party directly.

The Prime Minister of Tamil Nadu, MK Stalin, said his party was also planning to challenge legislation in the Supreme Court. Earlier, legislators of the State Council issued a decision opposing the amendments.

“The Endowment Law tells every Indian Muslim:” You are not an equal citizen in India, you know your place, and your rights are not the same, “Mahua Moitra, legislator from all opposition from the Treenamol, published on X.

The legislation attracted a strong condemnation from Islamic groups.

The Personal Council of Muslims in India said that the comments of the Minister of Interior Shah were against the basics of Islamic endowments because these bodies necessarily need to be ruled by Muslims only.

The council said that the draft law was “a flagrant violation of the constitutional rights of Muslim citizens” and invited them to improve the protest against that.

The Islamic group, which is another prominent community organization, described it as a “direct attack on religious freedom and constitutional rights.”

“The clip is very condemning,” the group’s president, Sayyid Sadat Allah Hussein, said in a statement accusing the government of undermining the rights of minority societies.

While many Muslims agree that the endowment characteristics suffer from corruption, encroachments and mismanagement, they also fear that the new law will give the Hindu national government in India much more control over Muslim property, especially at a time when attacks against minority societies have become more aggressive in Modi, with Muslims often target everything than their food patterns to adhere to clothes.

Last month, the United States Committee for International Religious Freedom said in its annual report that the conditions of religious freedom in India continued to deteriorate while Modi and his party “spread hateful discourse and discrimination against Muslims and other religious minorities.” The Moody government says that India is nominated based on the democratic principles of equality and there is no discrimination in the country.

A government study for the year 2013 found that Muslims, who number 14 percent of India’s 1.4 billion residents, are the largest group of minorities in the state of the Hindu majority, but they are also outdated.
