Waqf Bill won’t benefit Muslims, says senior AIMPLB official

LUCKNOW/VARANASI (UP): (Apr 2) All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has expressed strong opposition to the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, stating that it would be detrimental rather than beneficial for Muslims.

“The AIMPLB and other Muslim organisations have conveyed their concerns over the Bill to the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC), but they were not considered. Following this, protests were held in cities, including Delhi and Patna, where demonstrators symbolically wore black bands to emphasise their dissent,” senior executive member AIMPLB Maulana Khalid Rashi Farangi Mahali told PTI on Wednesday.

It would be detrimental rather than beneficial for Muslims, he said. PTI
