New Delhi: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has condemned the terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives, and announced a temporary suspension of its protests against the recent amendments to the Waqf Act.

The attack, which took place at a prominent tourist destination in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district on Tuesday, left 26 people, mostly tourists, dead and several others injured.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the AIMPLB expressed solidarity with the families of the victims and declared a three-day pause in its ongoing protest programmes, starting April 23.

SQR Ilyas, national convener of the Majlis-e-Amal for the Protection of Waqf under the AIMPLB, called the Pahalgam attack “deeply tragic and strongly condemnable”.

He said the decision to halt the protest was taken as a mark of mourning and support for the bereaved families. A circular has been issued to all state and district conveners of the campaign, directing an immediate halt to all protest-related activities during the period of mourning.

Ilyas clarified that the campaign against the "controversial amendments" to the Waqf Act will resume after the three-day suspension.
