After a three -day break in solidarity with the victims of a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Muslim personal legal law continued throughout India with a little reversal its Save Waqf campaign.
Instead of deciding to organize assemblies and public protests, such as those that are visible in Patna, Hyderabad, Parbhani and Vijayawada, she decided to organize closed doors and protests in stadiums and halls to avoid “unrest” and “disruption” from unfortunate elements. This form of limited protest is worried about violence “to create terrain awareness” is likely to be limited to states controlled by Bharatiya Janata. In the states of the ruling opposition parties that opposed changes, the Council is likely to continue their public gatherings with mass participation.
The Council also called for Batti Gul or Lights protest across the ground. Starting from 21:00 on Wednesday, the Board of Directors asked all citizens to turn off the lights for 15 minutes as a sign of protest against the new change of the WAQF law. “It is a unique protest. The idea is to involve all people. It is necessary to communicate our feelings through silence,” said SQR Ilyas, spokesman for the board.
Peace protest
The Council goes to another mile in taking all measures, while protesting against the WAQF law (amendment) in the States of the Ruling BJP and its allies NDA. “We do not want to give the state government to dub our protests such as violent or unconstitutional. We do not want to confront any state government. We want our protest to be peaceful, but let’s hear in the corridors of power. It is to save the spirit of our constitution and emphasize the fact that the law is discriminatory and against the fundamental rights anchored in the constitution. “
More public protests are likely to take place in Malegaon and Jamshedpur. “We organize a public gathering, as in Parbhani and Malegaon in Mahari, only if we feel that the public is accessible to our way of thinking. Otherwise, we have decided on a limited protest or conference that involves providing a memorandum to local authorities,” said Mr. Ilyas.
Although the Batti and Batti Gul campaign continues, the Waqf case is likely to come to hear at the Supreme Court on May 5.
