If AIMIM had three MPs in parliament, govt would have to reconsider Waqf Amendment Bill: Owaisi

Hyderabad: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) President Asaduddin Owaisi has once again raised his voice against the proposed amendments to the Waqf Bill, asserting that if his party had won more seats in the last elections, the government would have been forced to reconsider its stance on the matter. His remarks came in a video shared by AIMIM's official handle on social media platform X, where he urged voters to strengthen AIMIM politically.
In the video, Owaisi highlighted what he believes is the core struggle of AIMIM in its 67-year history. He stated that in Hyderabad, Muslims, Hindus, and Dalits are not just "voters" but "citizens with rights," whereas in other regions, people cast their votes and go home without securing their rightful place in governance and decision-making.
Drawing historical references, Owaisi accused political forces of ganging up against AIMIM’s Aurangabad MP Imtiaz Jaleel, stating that "all Mir Jafars and Mir Sadiqs" had united to defeat him. The names Mir Jafar and Mir Sadiq are often used metaphorically in Indian politics to refer to betrayal.
He claimed that if AIMIM had secured three MPs in the last election, the government would have been compelled to rethink its proposed amendments to the Waqf Bill.
The Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, has been a contentious issue, with Owaisi and other Muslim leaders strongly opposing its provisions. The bill proposes significant changes in the governance of Waqf boards, including the inclusion of two non-Muslim members and granting government officials the authority to resolve disputes related to Waqf properties. Critics argue that these changes will dilute the autonomy of Waqf boards and undermine the rights of the Muslim community.
Owaisi has consistently spoken out against the bill, warning that it could lead to unrest and legal complications. He has accused the government of attempting to interfere with Waqf properties under the pretext of reforms. The bill, which was recently approved by the Union Cabinet, has drawn criticism from various quarters, including opposition parties and religious leaders.
