We will compel Modi govt to withdraw waqf law: Akbar
Hyderabad: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen floor leader in the assembly,
Akbaruddin Owaisi
, on Sunday called upon Muslims to unite in their fight, within the limits of the constitutional provisions, against the new central Waqf Act.
He urged them to have complete trust in Allah that they will succeed in compelling the Narendra Modi govt to withdraw the Act, which is not in favour of Muslims.
Akbaruddin Owaisi was speaking at a dharna organised by the All India Muslim Personal Law Board at Dharna Chowk near Indira Park against the new waqf law. "They think they can weaken us through this Act, which is aimed at snatching away waqf properties, but we will not allow them to weaken us.
Stand shoulder to shoulder and create a wall to face any action taken against us for protesting against the Act. We will raise our voice against injustice and will not part with our shariah, hijab, imaan, and waqf properties.
We will continue to extend full support and will participate in every protest programme against the Act, organised by AIMPLB," he said.
Referring to verses from the 'Quran', Akbaruddin told the gathering that Allah promises that he tests only those close to him.
"We should thank the Almighty for choosing us. Today, 25 crore Muslims in India are going through this test. Have faith in Allah and continue the fight democratically. Allah will give us success. Let's participate in all protest programmes against the Waqf Act under the flag of AIMPLB," he said.
AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi, elder brother of Akbaruddin Owaisi, had also participated in the AIMPLB-organised public meeting at Dar-Us-Salam against the Waqf Act on April 19. Presently, Asaduddin Owaisi is part of an all-party delegation to Algeria to expose Pakistan-sponsored terrorism to the world. India has sent several all-party delegations to show its resolve against terrorism and garner international support against Pakistan sponsoring, patronising, and training terrorists.
