AIMPLB to continue protests against Waqf Amendment Act

AIMPLB's Khalid Saifullah Rahmani vows to fight Waqf Act with Akbaruddin Owaisi, uniting minorities in protest.

"This is an issue related to the protection of the Constitution. - Moulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani"

Hyderabad, June 1

All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) President Moulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani on Sunday declared that their protest will continue till the Central government withdraws the Waqf Amendment Act.

He was speaking at a massive dharna organised by the AIMPLB at Dharna Chowk, Indira Park here.

Leaders of various Muslim organisations and scholars representing all sects addressed the protest, attended by a large number of people, including women.

The speakers declared their full support for AIMPLB's ongoing nationwide movement against the Waqf Act.

Moulana Rahmani said that the Waqf Act is not the problem of Muslims alone, but it is the problem of all minorities and all justice-loving people. "This is an issue related protection of the Constitution as the government is trying to undermine the Constitution through the Waqf Act," he said.

He mentioned that Hindus, Sikhs and Christians also joined them in the protest against the Waqf Act.

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) floor leader in Telangana Assembly, Akbaruddin Owaisi, alleged that the Waqf Act has been brought to destroy Waqf properties. He said that the Modi government will have to withdraw the 'black law'.

Owaisi stated that 25 crore Muslims in India are passing through critical times. He called for remaining steadfast and strengthening their faith for success. He urged Muslims to remain united and participate in the protest programmes of AIMPLB.

He assured AIMPLB that AIMIM will stand by it in this movement against the Waqf Act. The AIMIM MLA said the Muslims would continue the fight for their rights within the purview of the Constitution and democracy.

AIMIM MLAs, corporators and other leaders participated in the protest. Several protestors reached the venue on their motorbikes.

Leaders of various organisations, including Jamiatul Ulema-e-Hind, Jamaat-e-Islami, Anjuman Mehdavia, and Majlis Tameer-e-Millat, addressed the protest.

The speakers mentioned that AIMPLB is conducting the nationwide movement against the Waqf Act while fighting the legal battle in the Supreme Court.

AIMPLB, various Muslim organisations and different opposition parties have challenged the constitutional validity of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.

The Supreme Court on May 23 reserved its decision on the prayer for interim directions on the petitions.

The Waqf Board controls massive properties across India. Some transparency and accountability measures are necessary, but the government should consult all stakeholders before making amendments. Dialogue is better than confrontation. 🇮🇳

Why are religious organizations controlling so much land in a secular country? All religious properties should be under uniform laws. The Waqf Board shouldn't get special privileges when temples don't have the same rights.

The Supreme Court will decide what's constitutional. Until then, protests should remain peaceful. We've seen how violent demonstrations hurt our economy and social harmony. Let's trust our judiciary system.

Interesting that other communities joined the protest. Maybe this could become a movement for uniform civil code? India needs one law for all citizens regardless of religion. That's true secularism.

The Waqf Board has been mismanaging properties for decades. If the amendment brings more transparency, why oppose it? Every institution must be accountable to the nation's laws. This isn't about religion but good governance.

As an Indian, I respect all religions but we must modernize our systems. The Waqf Act amendment seems like a step towards that. Change is difficult but necessary for progress. Let's give it a fair chance.
