🇮🇳 Breaking | Indian Muslims Mobilize in Massive Protest Against Anti-Waqf Bill, Claiming it’s a Covert Attempt to Seize Muslim Properties:
New Delhi – Indian Muslims are vehemently protesting the controversial Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, which many believe is a deliberate attempt by the Indian government to seize Waqf lands from Muslims under the guise of a new law. On Monday, members of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) organized a massive protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, denouncing the draconian provisions of the bill, claiming it will undermine Muslim rights to religious properties that have been in their care for centuries.
The bill, introduced by the Indian government, seeks to amend the Waqf Act, proposing significant changes, including ensuring representation of Muslim women and non-Muslims in central and state Waqf bodies, the appointment of a non-Muslim Chief Executive Officer, and empowering district collectors to resolve disputes over properties between Waqf and government land.
Opponents argue that the bill is a direct attack on Muslim autonomy over their religious properties, and a move to centralize control in the hands of the government. Asaduddin Owaisi, the chief of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), who actively participated in the protest, fiercely condemned the bill, asserting, “This is not just about properties, this is about Muslim identity and faith. The graveyards, khanqahs, and dargahs that are under threat belong to us, and no government should have the power to seize them.”
The bill is aimed at revoking certain clauses from the Waqf Act, which governs the administration of Waqf properties in India. Current law allows Waqf Boards to claim and manage properties as Waqf without mandatory verification. The proposed amendment would allow government-appointed authorities to have an even larger say in matters related to Waqf properties, raising fears that this decentralization will lead to the seizure of properties that have served the Muslim community for centuries.
Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani, President of the AIMPLB, declared in his speech, “This fight is not just for Waqf properties; it’s a fight for our Constitution. We are not against any community, but against a government that is clearly targeting us. Our struggle will continue until the Waqf Amendment Bill is rolled back.” Rahmani’s statement reflects the growing unease among Muslims, who view the bill as an unconstitutional attempt to curtail their religious freedoms.
Maulana Fazlurrahim Mujaddidi, General Secretary of AIMPLB, also strongly criticized the government’s approach, calling the bill’s introduction an undemocratic move. “The government has never consulted the Central Waqf Council or the AIMPLB, which only proves that this bill is part of a hidden agenda aimed at sowing division and chaos,” he said.
Meanwhile, Maulana Syed Arshad Madani, President of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, voiced his concern about the dangerous precedent this bill could set, pointing out that the bill is a covert attempt to loot Muslim properties under the guise of welfare, while in fact the government seeks to control Waqf lands. “If temples can hold gold for welfare, why should Waqf properties, which have long been under Muslim stewardship, be targeted in the same way?” Madani questioned.
This view was echoed by Maulana Kalbe Jawad Naqvi, a prominent Shia leader from Lucknow, who warned that the bill is akin to “a snake hole” designed to loot Muslim properties in the name of social welfare. He further emphasized that this is an existential issue for the Muslim community in India, asserting that Waqf lands are not just assets, but are intrinsic to their religious rights.
The Waqf Act has historically governed the management and protection of Muslim religious properties, which include graveyards, mosques, madrasas, and dargahs. The proposed amendments seek to grant more power to district collectors and government-appointed officials, raising concerns about the government’s control over these assets.

Several religious leaders and community representatives also expressed their deep reservations regarding the provisions in the bill, claiming that the amendments could lead to further disenfranchisement of Muslims in India. Many argue that the bill is part of a larger strategy to dilute the Muslim identity and undermine their religious freedoms in India.
The protestors are calling for the immediate withdrawal of the bill, demanding the government to uphold the religious autonomy and constitutional rights of Muslims. They have vowed to continue their protests across India, warning that any attempt to weaken Muslim institutions would lead to massive unrest.
The battle against the Waqf (Amendment) Bill is not just a legal issue but a fight to preserve the rights of Muslims to manage their religious properties and faith-based institutions. The ongoing protests signify a growing resistance from the Muslim community, and the government will likely face mounting pressure to reconsider or amend the bill.
This protest is a defining moment for the Indian Muslim community as they seek to protect not only their land but also their heritage, faith, and future.

☑️ | Hezbollah faces a complex challenge as it navigates the escalating tensions along the Syria-Lebanon border. The ultimate objective behind these clashes appears to be the creation of conditions that justify the deployment of UNIFIL forces or even NATO troops, effectively restricting Hezbollah’s operational mobility between Syria and Lebanon.
Julani is deliberately escalating hostilities, knowing that minor skirmishes with Lebanese tribes or the army will not suffice to trigger such an intervention. Only a direct confrontation with Hezbollah can push the situation to the necessary threshold, which aligns with Qatar’s apparent strategy of framing these clashes along sectarian and ethnic lines to justify foreign intervention.
Iran’s sharp criticism of Qatari policies during the Emir of Qatar’s recent visit to Tehran exposes the growing regional concern over Doha’s role in fueling instability. Meanwhile, Al-Sharq’s coverage of these clashes suggests a deliberate effort to distract from Qatar’s own internal tensions.
In response, Hezbollah is working to sidestep the sectarian trap by focusing on two key strategies:
1. Arming local tribes to bolster resistance against external manipulations.
2. Pressuring the Lebanese army to prevent it from playing into enemy hands.
The key question remains: Can Hezbollah maintain control over the situation, Time will expose?

✅ The assault by Julani’s HTS terrorists on Lebanese tribes has been deliberately fabricated to serve as a propaganda tool against Hezbollah. Reports confirm that Israeli forces are now actively participating in the attacks, further proving the coordination between the Israeli regime and HTS terrorists. In addition to military aggression, Al Jazeera and Western-backed media outlets are fueling the misinformation campaign, while Takfiri-controlled social media bots are aggressively pushing anti-Hezbollah narratives. This Israeli-Sunni Takfiri alliance aims to pressure Hezbollah and destabilize the Lebanese-Syrian border, using false narratives and manufactured conflicts to shift focus from the ongoing war crimes committed by Israel and its allies in Gaza and Syria.

☑️ | Syrian activist and Julani's regime supporter, Omar al-Hariri, wrote an op-ed for the Israeli newspaper “Kan”, openly admitting that their priority is not fighting Israel but rather targeting Shias in Iraq and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
To this, we say: Thank you for exposing yourself so early. You confirm what was already clear—you were never fighting for Islam or the Ummah and you are not even a Muslim. You were never part of it. You are nothing but a tool of Israel, serving its interests while pretending to wage jihad. Now, understand this: We will not only fight Israel; we will fight you collectively. Just as the Umayyads fell, so too will you. And just as spears once carried the heads of tyrants, so too will they rise again—this time, to carry both Israelis and Takfiris.
We will beat Erdogan and Netanyahu together!
