DHAKA/NEW DELHI — Bangladesh’s Khelafat Majlish, is set to stage a mass march and submit a memorandum to the Indian Embassy in Dhaka on Wednesday, demanding the repeal of the recently passed Waqf (Amendment) Act by the Indian Parliament.
According to local media reports, Khelafat Majlish chief Maulana Mamunul Haque claimed that Muslim-owned lands in India were being encroached upon, alleging that properties governed by Islamic endowments (Waqf) were being illegally acquired to build various structures, including temples.
In a statement, Haque accused India of giving legal backing to these alleged actions through the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.
“We have already expressed our anger and condemnation of these steps. Muslims across India erupted in protest against the Bill. This Bill basically interferes with the religious laws and rights of Muslims,” he said.
Haque further urged the global Muslim community to raise its voice against what he called the “killing of Muslims in India and interference in their religious matters.” — IANS
