All India Muslim Personal Law Board Postpones “Bharat Bandh” Against Waqf Amendment Act
New Delhi – The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has announced the postponement of its planned “Bharat Bandh” (nationwide strike) scheduled for October 3rd. The decision was made during an emergency meeting of the board’s office bearers, chaired by President Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani.
The postponement comes in light of religious festivals being celebrated by other communities in several states. The AIMPLB stated that new dates for the Bharat Bandh will be announced in the near future.
Despite the postponement of the nationwide strike, the board has confirmed that its broader protest movement against the controversial Waqf Amendment Act will proceed as planned. All other scheduled programs and activities will continue as announced.
The press release, signed by General Secretary Maulana Fazlur Rahim Mujaddidi and Spokesperson Dr. S. Q. R. Ilyas, emphasized that the decision to postpone the October 3rd event was made after a detailed review of the situation.
The AIMPLB has been a vocal critic of the Waqf Amendment Act, and the “Save Waqf Campaign” has seen growing support from various sections of the community. The board is expected to release a revised schedule of its protest activities soon.
