Demonstrators holding the national flags began march from Waqf Bhavan and reached the deputy commissioner. On the shore they lifted the slogans – they intervened Waqf and saved the institute. They gathered in front of the office where they organized a protest meeting. The protest was convened by the Council for Personal Right for Personal Legal Law.
