Jaipur, Apr 11 (PTI) The AIMIM on Friday staged a protest in Jaipur's Bhatta Basti area against the Waq (Amendment) Act, the Bill for which was recently passed in Parliament.

Condemning the Act, Khan accused the Central government of attempting to seize control of Waqf assets and systematically marginalising the Muslims.

"This legislation is not about reform, but about reinforcing a broader agenda of exclusion and injustice against Muslims. We will continue to assert our democratic right to peaceful protest and also launch a public awareness campaign to explain the real implications of the Waqf law," Khan said.
