AIMPLB intensifies its “Save the Waqf” campaign against the Waqf Amendment Act, accusing the govt of targeting minority rights. Protests planned across India.

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has stepped up its second phase of protests against the controversial Waqf Amendment Act, calling it a direct attack on minority rights and community properties. From September 1 to November 30, the “Save the Waqf” campaign will see nationwide demonstrations, special sermons during Friday prayers, and large-scale gatherings at Jantar Mantar, Ramlila Maidan, and state Assemblies.

Critics say the government is ignoring the sentiments of millions by pushing amendments that could weaken Waqf institutions and threaten centuries-old religious endowments. AIMPLB has urged Muslims across India to join peaceful protests, shut down businesses for a few hours on October 3, and submit memorandums to chief ministers and governors.

The campaign is not just limited to streets—it is being amplified online through social media, video messages in regional languages, and interfaith dialogues, highlighting the broader concern that religious and community trusts are under attack.

The big question remains: if the government truly stands for equality and justice, why is it pushing laws that communities see as discriminatory? Instead of imposing unpopular changes, the Centre should open dialogue and address genuine fears before trust is lost further.
