Muslim organizations are opposing Waqf Kanuna across the country under the ‘Waqf Rescue Office’.
The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) will protest against the new Waqf law on Wednesday under the ‘Light Stop’ campaign across the country on Wednesday. Under this, people have appealed to people from 9 am to 9:15 pm to light off at home and office.
AIMPLB said- Waqf law is against unjust, undemocratic and Islamic principles. This will promote the interference of the government in the rights and religious properties of the Muslim community. This is not just a community but the issue of the entire nation. Till the government does not withdraw the law, peaceful protests will continue.
The first phase of AIMPLB’s ‘Waqf rescue operation’ started from April 11, which will last for 7 July i.e. 87 days. In this, 1 crore signatures will be made in protest against the Waqf law, which will be sent to PM Modi. After this, the strategy of the next phase will be decided.
AIMPLB performed in Delhi on 22 April.

AIMPLB objections regarding Waqf law
- Capture Waqf properties: The board claims that the bill will make it easy for the government or individuals to grab Waqf properties.
- Lack of autonomy: Opposition to include non-Muslim members in the Waqf Board in the new law and to give the right to district collectors to evaluate assets.
- Violation of religious freedom: AIMPLB says that the bill violates the right to religious freedom under the Constitution, as it does not treat Hindu and Sikh religious institutions equally.
- Inappropriate intervention: The board believes that it is not acceptable to reduce the powers of Waqf boards and increase government control.
Modi government accused of running communal agenda
AIMPLB General Secretary Maulana Fazalur Rahim Mujdidi has appealed to all religious and social organizations to join the campaign.
AIMPLB General Secretary Maulana Fazalur Rahim Mujdidi released the video message. In the video, Mujdidi has accused the government of running communal agenda and weakening secularism.
He said in the video- This campaign is being run to protect Waqf properties and cancel the bill. AIMPLB believes that this bill will harm the nature and autonomy of Waqf properties, which they consider against Islamic values, Sharia, religious freedom and Indian Constitution.
According to the board, the movement will run until the bill is completely canceled. It has been named ‘Waqf Save, Save the Constitution’ campaign, as the board connects it with constitutional rights.
AIMPLB Boli- A mass movement like Shah Bano case will be made

The women’s wing of AIMPLB will make women aware by organizing programs at different places. The board has appealed to the community to exercise restraint and avoid emotional reactions.
