The Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024 is part of the BJP's strategy and continuing attempts to damage the centuries-old bonds of social harmony in our uniquely multi-religious society,

Charitable activities are linked to all religions and Muslims carry out these through Waqf. When a particular religion is targeted, there will be tension”.

Without the grace of Allah and the united support of these groups, the success of the Delhi demonstration would not have been possible,

The waqf-by-user concept developed by the nation’s judiciary on the basis of long, continued and uninterrupted customary usage is being abolished. Provisions in the existing law are being removed without any reason just to weaken the administration of the waqf. Enhanced defences are now being introduced in the law to protect those who have encroached on waqf lands,

It bears recall that a 428-page report was literally bulldozed through the JPC without it ever having gone through a detailed clause-by-clause discussion. It thus violates all Parliamentary practices,

Most fundamentally, the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024 is an assault on the Constitution of India itself,

It thus violates all Parliamentary practices,

Officers of the state governments will now have the powers to derecognize any waqf on anyone’s complaint or on a mere allegation of the waqf property being a government property till a final decision is taken,

Deliberate ambiguity has been introduced for determining who can donate their land for waqf purposes thus altering the very definition of waqf itself,
