Waqf Amendment Bill: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has made a big announcement against the Waqf Amendment Bill. The board has announced that a big protest will be held against this bill on March 10 at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. Through this protest, an attempt will be made to put pressure on the central government so that this bill is withdrawn. The AIMPLB has also appealed to opposition parties and civil society to join this protest.
AIMPLB spokesperson and organizer of this demonstration, Dr. Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas said that the Muslim Personal Law Board, different Muslim organizations and the Muslim community have registered their protest before the Central Government and the Joint Parliamentary Committee on several occasions. He said that this Waqf Amendment Bill introduced by the government is a conspiracy to usurp and destroy Waqf properties, which should be withdrawn immediately. He alleged that this bill has been brought with the aim of weakening the religious and social properties of the minorities.
Decision to protest after government’s silence
Dr. Ilyas said that now that the government is going to introduce this bill in the Parliament, the Executive Council of the Board has decided that a dharna will be held on March 10 at Jantar Mantar in Delhi to make the government and political parties aware of this issue and to register protest. He said that this demonstration will be completely peaceful and its purpose is to make the government aware of the concerns of the minority community.
A big protest will be held under the leadership of Muslim Personal Law Board
AIMPLB has said that apart from the top leadership of the Muslim Personal Law Board, central leaders of all major religious and national organizations will be present in this protest. The board also clarified that this protest will not be limited to the Muslim community only but social and political leadership of Dalit, tribal, OBC society as well as religious leaders of Sikh and Christian communities will also participate in it.
Protests will be held in many cities including Delhi
According to AIMPLB, to make this protest more effective, demonstrations will be held in other cities besides Delhi. On March 7, large-scale protests will be held in front of the Vidhan Sabha in Vijayawada and Patna of Andhra Pradesh against the Waqf Amendment Bill. The board said that this movement will continue until the government withdraws this bill.
