He noted that whilst the 2013 waqf legislation functioned without issues, the 2025 amendment presents significant concerns. He particularly objected to the inclusion of non-Muslims in the act, questioning their involvement in Muslim Waqf Board matters. He urged the Centre to acknowledge these peaceful protests.
Hameed addressed security concerns, referencing incidents in Pahalgam, Uri, and Pathankot. He emphasised that terrorists lack religious affiliation, and no faith permits the killing of another's followers. He stated that anyone committing murder under the guise of terrorism cannot be considered Muslim.
He suggested that those acquiring waqf property should likewise contribute their properties to the Waqf Board.
Over five thousand people took part in the protest.

A month after Operation Sindoor's start, 2 trains send message to Pakistan
KATRA: PM Narendra Modi on Friday sought to rally people of Jammu and Kashmir against terrorism, saying Pakistan targeted the UT's tourism industry to cripple the livelihood of poor Kashmiris and accused the hostile neigbour of attacking both humanity and Kashmiriyat in Pahalgam, where terrorists had killed 25 tourists. Addressing a public gathering after flagging off two Vande Bharat trains between Katra and Srinagar, and launching other development projects, he said, "Our neighbouring country is against humanity, against harmony, against tourism... Pakistan attacked both humanity and Kashmiriyat in Pahalgam. Their intention was to incite communal riots in India..." Addressing his first public meeting in J&K after the Pahalgam massacre and Operation Sindoor , Modi said Pakistan's deliberate attack on tourists hurt local workers, including horse riders, porters, guides, guest house owners, and shopkeepers, aiming to destroy their livelihoods. "Terrorists also killed Adil, (pony ride operator) who challenged them. He too had gone there to work hard to take care of his family," Modi said. Modi said the hostile neighbour carried out brutal attacks, which the world witnessed, when it destroyed homes, bombed schools and hospitals, and shelled temples, mosques, and gurdwaras. He lauded the resilience of the people of J&K. "The youth of J&K have now made up their mind to give a befitting reply to terrorism, which burnt schools in the Valley and destroyed the future of two generations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Due to terrorism it also became a big challenge for the public to choose representatives of their choice and hold elections," he said. "The atmosphere of development which has been created in J&K is not going to halt due to the Pahalgam terror attack. If anyone tries to create an obstruction in the way of the youth fulfilling their dreams, then that obstacle will have to face Modi first," the PM said. He recalled that exactly one month ago, on the intervening night of May 6-7, India had executed Operation Sindoor, delivering a decisive blow to Pakistan-based terrorists and terror camps. "Whenever Pakistan hears the name of Operation Sindoor, it will be reminded of its humiliating defeat," he said.

'Never imagined detention in US': Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil pleads for release; says arrest caused 'irreparable harm' to family, career
Mahmoud Khalil (File photo) Columbia University alumnus, currently facing deportation due to his pro-Palestinian activism, has detailed the significant "irreparable harm" due to his ongoing detention to his personal and professional life, while a federal judge considers his release. In court documents made public on Thursday, Mahmoud Khalil described how the 'most immediate and visceral harms' due to his detention in Louisiana was him missing the birth of his firstborn in April, reported the Associated Press. "Instead of holding my wife's hand in the delivery room, I was crouched on a detention centre floor, whispering through a crackling phone line as she laboured alone," the 30-year-old legal US resident wrote. "When I heard my son's first cries, I buried my face in my arms so no one would see me weep." The detention has severely affected his professional prospects, with Oxfam International withdrawing their employment offer for a policy adviser position. Additionally, his mother's visa application to assist with his newborn's care is currently under federal scrutiny. "As someone who fled prosecution in Syria for my political beliefs, for who I am, I never imagined myself to be in immigration detention, here in the United States," he wrote. "Why should protesting this Israel government's indiscriminate killing of thousands of innocent Palestinians result in the erosion of my constitutional rights?" The Department of Homeland Security's spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin, suggested Khalil utilise the CBP Home app for voluntary deportation, offering $1,000 and complimentary travel. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Despite Khalil's green card status, the Trump administration is proceeding with its revocation. His lawyers submitted a 13-page statement alongside various legal declarations highlighting the extensive consequences of his arrest. His wife, Dr Noor Abdalla, a US citizen, described managing childbirth and early parenthood without her husband's support. Columbia's academic community expressed concerns about the dampening effect on campus activism, noting increased hesitancy to participate in protests or groups critical of the Trump administration. Recently, New Jersey Federal Judge Michael Farbiarz indicated that the administration's deportation effort likely contravenes the Constitution. Farbiarz noted that using potential threats to US foreign policy as justification for removal could enable arbitrary enforcement. Khalil's arrest occurred on March 8 in his university accommodation's lobby, marking the first detention under Trump's expanded measures against students involved in Gaza war protests.
