    Watch: Owaisi Calls Waqf Amendment Bill Unconstitutional and Anti-Muslim

     AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi criticized the Waqf Amendment Bill, calling it unconstitutional. He said it violates Articles 14, 15, and 29 of the Indian Constitution. Owaisi argued that the bill does not aim to protect Waqf properties but instead harms them and takes them away from Muslims. He strongly condemned the bill, stating it would cause more harm than good. Owaisi also mentioned that the Speaker of the House assured that 70% of the dissent reports from MPs would be included in the final version of the bill, but emphasized that the bill’s impact on Muslims remains a serious concern.
