The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on Wednesday warned that the body will stage nationwide protests if the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, is passed in Parliament.

The Muslim board has made it clear that they will not remain silent if the bill becomes law.

During a media briefing in New Delhi, Syed Qasim Rasool, the spokesperson for the AIMPLB, stated that they will take all legal and constitutional actions available if the bill is passed.

“If this bill is passed in the Parliament, then we will start a nationwide movement against it. We won’t sit quietly. We will make use of all legal and constitutional provisions available to us. We will run a peaceful agitation until the proposed amendments are taken back," Rasool said.

The Waqf Bill, which includes amendments recommended by the 31-member Joint Committee of Parliament, is being tabled in the Lok Sabha today, with eight hours allocated for discussion. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju will respond to the debate and seek the House’s approval for its passage.
