Protests erupted across India as Muslims reject Waqf Amendment Act.

Muslims across India held widespread demonstrations to protest the Waqf (Amendment) Act, stating that Modi-led BJP government is stripping the community of its rights through legislative changes.

Protests erupted after Friday prayers in several major cities, including Mumbai, Kolkata, Patna, Imphal, Jaipur, Lucknow, Hyderabad, and Bhopal.

In Kolkata, hundreds of students from Aligarh University marched from the campus to Park Circus, carrying banners and placards denouncing the amendments. One placard read, “Constitutional rights cannot be denied.”
