US EditionAsaduddin Owaisi Participates In 'Lights Off' Protest Against Waqf Law
- On April 30, 2025, a large, peaceful protest took place at Eidgah maidan in Parbhani, Maharashtra, organized under the leadership of the national Muslim personal law authority to oppose the Waqf Act.
- The protest followed Parliament's approval and the President's assent to the contentious Waqf Amendment Act, which critics say undermines constitutional rights and alters Waqf property management.
- Asaduddin Owaisi, president of AIMIM and Hyderabad MP, along with other leaders, took part in the protest and called on the government to retract the bill, accusing it of intending to seize mosques and graveyards.
- Owaisi stated, "I ask Modi to withdraw the bill," called it a "black law," and alleged it benefits only the Prime Minister while snatching community property.
- The protest is part of a nationwide AIMPLB campaign including a 15-minute lights-out from 9 to 9:15 PM, signaling continued resistance until the bill is repealed.
