Waqf Law protests: Power outages hit homes and programs across Delhi, Maharashtra, and Jharkhand
Muslim groups are united against the Waqf Amendment Act and are always busy planning a strategy to voice their opposition to it. In the next 15 days, a series of meetings and meetings will take place. In the meantime, on April 24, Legal Bing Association of Jamaat-e-Islami, Protect Protection of Civil Rights (APCR) is going to hold a Waqf Rescue Conference at the India Islamic Center in Delhi.
Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind President Maulana Arshad Madani won't be present in this conference due to health issues. Nevertheless, other Jamiat officials will read his message. Not only this, there has been a plan prepared to protest against the Waqf Act on an ongoing basis. Indeed, on 26 April, there will be a Waqf rescue conference by Muslim organizations in Calcutta. Muslim organizations will meet in Maharashtra after this, on 27 April. On April 30, efforts are being initiated to arrange for a Batti Gul program in the entire country, whereby the entire Muslims of the country will switch off the lights of their houses at 9 pm.
Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind conference to be held in Delhi
On May 1, Muslim organizations will reach Jamshedpur to take this movement ahead. The executive session of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind was summoned on May 3 and 4 in Deoband, but the decision will be modified and it will now be conducted in Delhi. Lakhs of Muslim organizations, representatives and citizens of the society will unite on May 7 in the Waqf Save Waqf program in Ramlila Maidan in Delhi.
Protests on any road can contribute to worsening of law
At the same time, Arshad Madani has appealed to Muslims to protest that they have to stay in what way to convey their point to the government and get this act back. He had remarked that the circumstances in the country are not conducive to holding street protests. Protests on any road can contribute to worsening of law and order situation and can prove to be counterproductive in the present scenario of the nation. We do not believe in agitating on the roads on any issue. It is not good for Muslims. Our struggle is against the government and we have always followed the legal route to oppose such decisions.
Waqf Act becomes law on April 5
Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind is one of the largest associations of Indian Muslims. Apart from being the head of the Jamiat, Maulana Arshad Madani is also vice-president of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB). The Waqf Amendment Bill 2024 was introduced in Parliament by the Narendra Modi government on April 2, 2025. The bill was passed in both Houses of Parliament after heated debates. It was subsequently enacted into law after signing by President Droupadi Murmu on April 5, 2025.
