The BJP on Monday welcomed the Supreme Court’s verdict on the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, describing it as a “tight slap” on those questioning the law’s constitutionality and indulging in “politics of fear”.

The apex court stayed a few key provisions of the amended law — including the clause that only those practising Islam for the past five years could create a waqf — but refused to halt the entire Act, citing the presumption of constitutionality.
