“The WAQF Amendment Act is against the Constitution’s ethos. According to the news agency report, it is completely unacceptable to the Muslim community,” said protesting Sakir Ahmed.
The protests also took place in the Khatri Awang Leikai, Kairang Muslim and Kiyamgei Muslim region on the Imphal East and Sora in the Thic District, among other things.
Security was strengthened in the Muslim areas of the valley, with additional forces deployed.
The draft WAQF (amendment) was approved by Lok Sabha on Thursday, April 3 and Rajya Sabha on Friday 4th April after the marathon debates in both houses.
The Government claims that the WAQF Amendment Act aims to streamline the management of the WAQF real estate (assets permanently donated by Muslims for religious or charity purposes) with the provisions of the protection of places of inheritance and the support of social well -being.
It also seeks to improve the management of affairs by increasing the transparency in the area of real estate management, streamlining coordination between WAQF councils and local authorities and the protection of the rights of stakeholders.
President Droucadi Murmu agreed on Saturday with the bill.
