AIMPLB terms Waqf Amendment Bill an 'attack on Islamic Values', Plans nationwide protests
New Delhi: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has strongly opposed the Waqf Amendment Bill passed by Parliament, alleging that it endangers Islamic principles, Shariah, and the foundational values of the Indian Constitution. In a statement, the AIMPLB called the amendments a direct assault on religious and cultural harmony and accused certain political parties of aligning with the BJP’s "communal agenda," thereby exposing their "false claims" of secularism.
Declaring its intent to launch a nationwide movement, the AIMPLB announced it will work with various religious, community-based, and social groups to demand the complete rollback of the amendments. The Board urged the Muslim community to remain hopeful and patient, stating that the leadership is prepared to make any sacrifice to safeguard constitutional and religious rights.
Maulana Muhammad Fazlur Raheem Mujaddidi, General Secretary of the Board, said that their strategy includes approaching the Supreme Court to challenge the Bill, along with conducting peaceful protests, demonstrations, rallies, and public discussions in major cities. Symbolic acts, including wearing black armbands and holding media briefings, will also be part of the campaign.
The first phase of the protest will run under the theme "Save Waqf, Save the Constitution", aiming to counter government propaganda and raise awareness through roundtable discussions and fact-based outreach efforts.
Protests are scheduled to be held in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Vijayawada, Malappuram, Patna, Ranchi, Malerkotla, and Lucknow. These initial actions will continue until Eid al-Adha, with plans for the next phase to be announced thereafter.
The Board reiterated the importance of maintaining discipline and peace during the campaign and called on its supporters to follow the leadership's guidance closely.
