All India Muslim Personal Law Board is holding a protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi today. All India Muslim Personal Law Board has alleged conspiracy to usurp Waqf properties. 11 opposition parties including Congress have been invited to join the protest.
The All India Muslim Personal Law Board rallies against the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, claiming it discriminates against Muslims and threatens Waqf properties even as the Modi government insists the bill promotes development and transparency.
The All India Muslim Personal Law Board, the apex body of Muslim clerics in India, is organising a protest against the Waqf (Amendment) Bill at Jantar Mantar in the national capital today, March 17. The board said that the proposed legislation was a “direct attack” on Muslims and would pave the way for the “usurping” of Waqf properties.”The Muslim community views this Waqf Amendment Bill as a direct attack on the community,” AIMPLB said in a statement last week.
The protest is scheduled to begin at 10 am. According to a statement released by AIMPLB, the protest will be attended by representatives from the board, leaders of major Muslim religious and social organisations, civil society activists and prominent Dalit, Adivasi, and OBC leaders.
