On April 5, 2025, President Droupadi Murmu signed the Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2025 into law, following its passage in the Lok Sabha on April 3 and the Rajya Sabha on April 4. The bill has stirred political controversy, with opposition leaders like Congress MP Mohammad Jawed and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi challenging its constitutional validity in the Supreme Court.
