AIMPLB resumes protest against Waqf Amendment Act in Warangal

Hyderabad: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) resumed its protests against the Waqf Amendment Act in Warangal, where several prominent Muslim community leaders, including AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi, participated.

The protest was held on Sunday, May 18, titled ‘Waqf Bachao, Dastur Bachao’ (Save Waqf, Save Constitution) campaign at the Islamia College ground. Over 10,000 protestors were present.

Reaffirming his earlier statements that the Waqf law will not benefit the Muslim community in any way, Asaduddin Owaisi said, “This law (Waqf Law) has not been made in the interest of Muslims. It has been created to seize Waqf properties. The Waqf Board will not benefit from this in any way.”

“From where do Muslims get the documents of historical waqf properties preserved for centuries? The government has enacted a controversial Black law that reflects a misuse of numerical power,” he said.
