Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK President M K Stalin strongly criticized the passage of the Waqf Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha, calling it an attack on the Constitution. On Thursday, Stalin announced that his party would file a case against the bill in the Supreme Court.

Stalin, who wore a black badge to protest the bill’s passage, expressed his dissatisfaction with the timing of the amendment, which was adopted at 2 a.m., “at the behest of a few allies.” He said this move went against the will of the majority parties in India and posed a threat to religious harmony. “This is an act that disturbs religious harmony. To highlight this, we are participating in today’s Assembly proceedings wearing black badges,” Stalin told the Tamil Nadu Assembly.

Stalin made it clear that the DMK would take legal action, stating, “I would like to inform you that a case will be filed in the Supreme Court on behalf of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) against this controversial amendment.”

He also pointed out that the Tamil Nadu Assembly had already passed a resolution on March 27 opposing the bill. He said that the amendment would not only harm religious harmony but also undermine the autonomy of the Waqf Board, thereby threatening the rights of the minority Muslim population.

Stalin condemned the passage of the bill, especially given that 232 MPs had voted against it, stating, “This is not an ordinary number, and the number may increase.” Only 288 MPs voted in favor of the bill.
