In a post on X, AICC general secretary Jairam Ramesh said, “The INC will very soon be challenging in the Supreme Court the constitutionality of the Wakf (Amendment) Bill, 2024”.

The INC’s challenge of the 2019 amendments to the RTI Act, 2005 is being heard in the Supreme Court, he noted.

“The INC’s challenge to the validity of the amendments to the Conduct of Election Rules (2024) is being heard in the Supreme Court.

“The INC’s intervention to uphold the letter and spirit of the Places of Worship Act, 1991 is being heard in the Supreme Court,” the Congress leader said.
