WAQF (Amendment) Bill Controversy: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has announced that it will hit the road against the Waqf (amendment) bill. Board officials said on Tuesday that a big demonstration will be held against the Waqf Bill at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on 17 March. He said that through this, apart from political parties involved in the NDA government, the work of 'awakening' the inter -soul of secular political parties will be done.
Waqf Board leaders said that several MPs have been sent to participate in this demonstration.
AIMPLB spokesperson Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas said that after understanding this bill for a long time, the board's opinion is that this bill will prepare a way to capture the Waqf properties and is a 'direct attack' on Muslims. He said this at a press conference in Delhi. AIMPLB general secretary Maulana Mohammad Fazalur Rahim Mujdidi was also attended by the press conference.

AIMPLB general secretaries Maulana Fazalur Rahim Mujdidi and Ilyas said that five crore Muslims had sent an e-mail to the Joint Committee of Parliament against the bill. At the same time, even after the Muslim Personal Law Board, many Muslim organizations and prominent people, the central government has not only refused to reconsider its stance but has also made this bill even more difficult and controversial.
Bill is a discrimination- Ilyas
Ilyas said that we hoped that the Joint Committee of Parliament would consider the suggestions given by us but neither our opinion was considered nor the suggestions given by MPs of opposition parties were included. He said that this bill shows discrimination as it has been asked to keep non-Muslim members in Waqf Board and Council, while there is no such provision in the management of Hindus and Sikhs.

Will agitate like farmers- AIMPLB

Similarly, the Muslim Personal Law Board will also campaign across the country against this bill.
He has also said that the Joint Committee of Parliament rejected the objections and suggestions raised by the Muslim community. Earlier this demonstration was to be held on March 13 but it has been extended due to Holi holiday.
