Srinagar, April 14 -- National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah on Monday said that the Waqf Amendment Act, which was recently passed in the Parliament, violates the Constitution.

Speaking to ANI, Abdullah supported the Speaker's decision in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly to not allow discussion on the newly amended Waqf law, citing that the issue was currently under consideration in the Supreme Court.

"This Bill is against the Constitution. The Speaker (of the J-K Assembly) made a good decision of not allowing discussion on this, as the matter is in the Supreme Court. We can talk about this after the Supreme Court's decision...The Opposition here is only meant to do opposition; it is not a healthy criticism," Abdullah said.
