Muslims across India have staged large-scale protests against the controversial Waqf Amendment Act. The All India Muslim Personal Law Board organized a massive demonstration in Hyderabad, South India, with thousands participating on Saturday. AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi described the protest as a "symbol of unity against the Waqf Amendment Act," calling for its repeal, stating that it violates the spirit of the Indian Constitution.
The amendment, recently passed in Parliament, has sparked nationwide debates and protests. Critics argue that the inclusion of non-Muslims in Waqf Boards undermines minority rights and religious autonomy. Violent clashes in West Bengal have resulted in three deaths, further intensifying the situation.
The government has assured the Supreme Court that no non-Muslims will be included in Waqf Boards until the next hearing in May. However, opposition parties and Muslim organizations claim the law infringes on constitutional rights and minority protections.
