New Delhi: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has revived its street-level ‘Save Waqf Campaign’. The pause, caused by Operation Sindoor and an emergency-like climate, is over, spokesperson Dr S. Q. R. Ilyas said.
Indoor actions—round-tables, interfaith meets, press briefings, and memo submissions—never stopped. Now rallies and mass meetings return in many states.
The campaign’s upcoming schedule includes a Hyderabad round-table with politicians, scholars, and activists on 18 May followed by a women-centric rally of roughly one lakh participants on 22 May; a 20 May mass meeting in Warangal expecting a similar turnout; a district-wide gathering in Nizamabad on 30 May; Maharashtra events featuring a 70–80 thousand-strong assembly in Jalgaon on 23 May, a multi-faith programme with Hindu and Sikh speakers in Nanded on 24 May, and a landmark Marathwada rally in Aurangabad on 25 May targeting more than two lakh attendees; and, finally, a series of joint AIMPLB-Imarat Shariah meetings across Bihar in Patna, Kishanganj, Araria, Bhagalpur, Begusarai, Saharsa, Madhubani, Siwan, and Darbhanga.
Campaign momentum is building again in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, and West Bengal.
Dr Ilyas says the drive will alert Muslims to the government’s “malicious” Waqf amendments, combat falsehoods, and forge unity. He hopes the Supreme Court will grant interim relief at its 20 May hearing.
