India's upper house Friday passed the controversial Waqf bill changing the way donated Muslim properties worth billions of dollars are governed. Muslim leaders say it is unconstitutional and a violation of Muslim rights.

India's parliament passes a bill amending Muslim land endowments, sparking protests over concerns it undermines minority rights and could lead to property confiscation.

The legislation passed by Parliament on Friday would allow non-Muslims to help administer so-called Waqfs. The move fueled concerns that the rights of Muslims are being infringed on.
