AIMPLB to Challenge Waqf Bill in Court, Labels It Unjust Law

NEW DELHI , 2 april 2025

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) stated on Wednesday that they will legally contest the Waqf (Amendment) Bill. They criticized the bill as a "black law" that violates the rights of Muslims.

The Waqf bill is to be considered and voted upon on Wednesday in the Lok Sabha. It will proceed to the Rajya Sabha for examination if it passes in the Lower House.

AIMPLB member Md Adeeb condemned the bill at a press conference, stating that it is an endeavor to take over Muslim community properties.

"They think they can just take away our property. Is that fine with us? Don't think we are defeated," Adeeb said, again asserting that their fight against the bill is just beginning.

He pointed out that the bill was resisted when it was being considered in the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) that debated it, having stated, "Don't think we have lost. This is just the start.".

This is a battle to rescue our country as this bill is a danger to the very foundations of India.

Adeeb urged all rational citizens to stand against the bill and reinforced the AIMPLB's commitment to resist the law in court and on the streets too.

"We will go to the court. We won't rest till this law is abolished," he asserted.
