Muslim Groups Unite in Kerala Against Waqf Amendment Act

Muslim organizations in Kerala urge the state government to pass a resolution against the Waqf Amendment Act, following Tamil Nadu and West Bengal's lead. They argue the amendment threatens Muslim asset ownership and secularism. Protests and potential legal action are planned to oppose the act.

Muslim organizations across Kerala have rallied against the controversial Waqf Amendment Act, calling on the state's Left government to pass a resolution rejecting its implementation. They urge Kerala to follow Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, where leaders have resisted the Act's enforcement.

The leaders argue that the amendment threatens Muslim-owned assets, historically donated for communal welfare, and deems it an undemocratic move to erode Muslim presence and influence. The groups have vowed to continue peaceful protests and potential legal challenges.

The protests have seen support from various opposition members, with CPI leader Panniyan Raveendran condemning the law as a ploy by BJP and RSS to divide communities and seize properties. Opposition INDIA bloc members have also united to oppose the Act.
