Congress’ minorities department head Imran Pratapgarhi thanked the top court for granting time to hear the important matter. Singhvi, who also argued in the case before the Supreme Court, said people forget that the constitutional rights are against the majority as there would be no need for the rights otherwise. “I want to say this is not reform. It is retaliation in the guise of reform. Retaliation meticulously scripted, strategically timed, and constitutionally questionable. The Waqf Act is not an exercise in efficiency as it pretends to be. It is an exercise in erasure,” Singhvi said.“Behind the bland language of governance lies the bold ambition of control. Religious autonomy is being reduced to state-administered protocol. And community rights are being redrawn with bureaucratic pens,” he noted. Singhvi said the matter should not be treated as that of a community but of their rights.
