AIMPLB appeals to secular parties, MPs to oppose Waqf bill, vote against it

Its appeal came a day before the Lok Sabha takes up the contentious Waqf (Amendment) Bill for discussion and passage. The Rajya Sabha is expected to take it up on Thursday (April 3, 2025), with the two Houses allocated eight hours each for debating the proposed law.

All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) president Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani appealed to all secular parties and members of Parliament to not only strongly oppose the Bill when presented in Parliament but also vote against it to "prevent the BJP's communal agenda".

The Bill is not only based on discrimination and injustice but also directly contradicts the provisions of fundamental rights under articles 14, 25 and 26 of the Constitution, he said in a statement.
