The AIMPLB's opposition to the Waqf (Amendment) Bill gains traction with political support, while the BJP defends the legislation as a step toward transparency and inclusivity.

• RJD leaders Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav joined AIMPLB's protest in Patna, calling the Waqf (Amendment) Bill unconstitutional and undemocratic.
• The AIMPLB has launched a nationwide agitation, with protests planned in Vijayawada and other cities in the coming days.
• The BJP accuses the AIMPLB of misleading minorities and politicizing the bill, which it claims aims to benefit marginalized Muslims through reforms like digitization and stricter governance.
• AIMIM predicts the protests could evolve into a mass movement, potentially surpassing the scale of the anti-CAA and NRC demonstrations.
• The bill proposes significant changes in Waqf property management, including the inclusion of non-Muslims and women in Waqf boards, sparking fears of undermining minority rights.
