The Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, usurps the constitutionally guaranteed rights of the minority community, according to a protest meeting organised by the Jamiyyathul Ulama Coordination Committee, Ernakulam, on Sunday (May 4, 2025).
Speakers at the meeting, inaugurated by Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama president Syed Mohammed Jifri Muthukoya Thangal, said the new legislation would lead to the alienation of hundreds of mosques, madrasas, and burial grounds. It would even undermine the existence of Muslims in the country, the meeting noted.
The meeting resolved to democratically oppose the Union government’s move to alienate waqf properties. I.B. Usman Faizi presided, and Syed Ibrahim Khaleel Bukhari delivered the keynote address.
