國會歡迎最高法院對WAQF修正案的臨時救濟

國會周四強烈歡迎最高法院對有爭議的WAQF修正案的臨時救濟，將該立法稱為“偽裝成改革的報復性”的行為

The Congress party on Thursday expressed strong support for the Supreme Court’s decision to grant interim relief on the controversial Waqf Amendment Act. At a press conference, senior Congress leader and MP Dr Abhishek Manu Singhvi, along with fellow MP Imran Pratapgarhi, spoke at length about the implications of the Act.

國會黨週四表示，對最高法院決定對有爭議的WAQF修正案的臨時救濟作出大力支持。在新聞發布會上，國會高級領導人和國會議員Abhishek Manu Singhvi博士以及國會議員Imran Pratapgarhi詳盡地談到了該法案的含義。

Describing the legislation as an act of "retaliation disguised as reform," Singhvi said it was timed and structured to spite the Congress and had no real interest in administrative efficiency.

辛格維（Singhvi）將立法描述為“被偽裝成改革的報復”的行為，他說，這是定時的，結構化了國會，並且對行政效率沒有真正的興趣。

"This is not reform, it's retaliation — precisely timed, deeply political, and constitutionally dubious," he asserted.

他斷言：“這不是改革，而是報復 - 精確時機，政治性和憲法性可疑。”

The Congress MP further explained that the law was not about improving Waqf institutions, which are in a poor state despite being envisioned as autonomous bodies by the framers of the Constitution, but rather about "controlling them, reducing autonomy to protocol, and rewriting rights with bureaucratic ink."

國會議員進一步解釋說，該法律並不是要改善WAQF機構，儘管憲法的製定者將其視為自治機構，但該機構處於貧困狀態，而是關於“控制它們，減少協議的自主權，並用官僚上的墨水重寫權利”。

Rejecting the notion that the Congress was standing up for a single community, Singhvi highlighted the party's broader objective of defending constitutional values.

辛格維拒絕國會為一個單一社區而奮鬥的觀念，強調了該黨捍衛憲法價值的更廣泛的目標。

"This is not a community issue. It's a constitutional one. Article 26 protects the rights of all religious denominations — and today, it's the Waqf, but tomorrow, it could be any institution, any faith, even your voice," he warned.

他警告說：“這不是一個社區問題。這是一個憲法上的問題。第26條保護了所有宗教派別的權利 - 今天，這是WAQF，但明天，這可能是任何機構，任何信仰，甚至是您的聲音。”

Slamming the government's claims of inclusivity, Singhvi said a "token Muslim presence on a board isn't representation — it's appropriation." He added that the Act renders religious identity a liability and turns faith-based institutions into government-controlled entities.

辛格維（Singhvi）抨擊政府的包容性主張，說“穆斯林在董事會上的存在不是代表，而是撥款。”他補充說，該法案使宗教身份成為責任，並將基於信仰的機構變成政府控制的實體。

"The law is morally hollow and we are grateful to the court for understanding that. You cannot amputate Article 26 and call it reform," Singhvi stated.

辛格維說：“法律在道德上是空洞的，我們感謝法院理解這一點。你不能截肢第26條，並將其稱為改革。”

Pratapgarhi also expressed gratitude for the court's intervention, noting that the government had rammed the bill through Parliament despite opposition input being ignored in both the JPC and legislative debates.

Pratapgarhi還對法院的干預表示感謝，並指出，儘管在JPC和立法辯論中都忽略了反對派投入，但政府還是通過議會遭到了法案。

Both leaders called for continued scrutiny of the Act, setting a dangerous precedent for minority rights and religious freedom in the country.

兩位領導人都呼籲繼續審查該法案，為該國的少數群體權利和宗教自由樹立危險的先例。
