Srinagar, Apr 8: The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday submitted a fresh resolution in the Jammu & Kashmir Legislative Assembly, urging the Union Government to repeal the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.
PDP President Mehbooba Mufti condemned the Act, asserting that it goes beyond religious matters and represents a direct assault on the rights, beliefs, and dignity of the country’s crores of Muslims.
Mufti emphasised that as the only Muslim-majority region, Jammu and Kashmir has a crucial role to play in defending the rights of its people and urged the Chief Minister, the Legislative Assembly, and the J&K government to demonstrate political resolve and stand firm against any encroachment on the rights of its people.
In her appeal, Mufti called on the government to take the matter seriously and ensure that the people’s voice is heard.
In a post on X, Mehbooba Mufti posted, “The Waqf issue transcends matters of faith. It is a direct assault on the rights, beliefs, and dignity of 24 crore Muslims in India. As the only Muslim-majority region, Jammu and Kashmir must rise to the occasion and defend the rights of its people.”
“In light of this, PDP has submitted a fresh resolution addressing this crucial issue. The government must take it seriously to ensure that the voice of the people is heard. I urge the Chief Minister, the Legislative Assembly and the J&K government to show political resolve and stand firm against any encroachment on the rights of its people,” she posted, while tagging JK Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.
