Chhatrashibir Condemns the Passage of Anti-Muslim Interests Waqf Bill in India
Bangladesh Islami Chhatrashibir(@info_shibir) has expressed strong outrage and condemnation over the passage of the anti-Muslim Waqf Amendment Bill in #India and the #BJP government's ongoing anti-Muslim policies.
In a joint statement issued on April 4, Chhatrashibir’s Central President Jahidul Islam and Secretary General Nurul Islam Saddam stated, "The controversial Waqf Amendment Bill, passed in India's Lok Sabha on April 3, is yet another vile example of the BJP government's well-orchestrated efforts to strip Muslims of their religious freedom, ownership, and rights. Through this law, the government has paved the way for interference and seizure of Muslim-endowed religious properties such as mosques, madrasas, cemeteries, and shelters. According to the bill, it is now mandatory to include two non-Muslim members in the Waqf Board and the Central Waqf Council, which is a direct assault on the religious sanctity of Waqf."
The leaders stated, "India currently has over 872,000 Waqf properties, covering approximately 405,000 hectares (1 million acres) of land—making it the largest in the world. These Waqf properties are managed by various state and central Waqf boards and constitute one of the largest ownerships of urban land in India. After the military and the railway, Waqf boards hold the highest amount of land ownership in the country. The proposed amendments to the Waqf Act in the Indian Parliament will grant the government unchecked control over these properties, posing yet another blow to the Muslim community. We strongly protest against this bill."
In the statement, the leaders said, "The scale of injustice against Muslims in India is extremely alarming. After the partition of 1947, a massive number of Muslims were killed, persecuted, and forced to flee as refugees to other countries.
Subsequently, in 1984, during the Sikh uprising, and in 2002, during the Gujarat riots, thousands of innocent Muslims were brutally murdered. Widespread persecution of Muslims has also occurred in numerous other incidents, including the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots, the 2014 Patna violence, and the 2019 Delhi riots."
The leaders further stated, "India is home to approximately 250 million Muslims, making them the country’s second-largest population group. However, the ruling authorities are relentlessly imposing repressive laws and seizing control of religious assets to push India towards becoming an exclusive Hindu state.
Previously, in 2019, the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) were introduced as anti-Muslim measures aimed at rendering Muslims stateless. Additionally, bans on hijab and cattle slaughter have been used to destroy Muslim livelihoods, while incidents of public desecration of the Quran have become alarmingly frequent in BJP-ruled states. Through these oppressive actions, the lives of Indian Muslims are being increasingly restricted and made more difficult."
The leaders stated, "Muslims have made incomparable and enduring contributions to India's history. Many of the country's most iconic historical landmarks, renowned worldwide, were built by Muslim rulers.
Architectural masterpieces such as the Taj Mahal, Red Fort, Qutub Minar, Hazarduari, and Gol Gumbaz stand as testaments to their legacy. Additionally, the construction of the Grand Trunk Road—one of South Asia’s most vital trade and transportation routes—was a significant achievement of Muslim rulers, shaping regional connectivity and commerce. Muslim scientists have played a pivotal role in India’s advancements, including the establishment of the country’s first space research center, satellite launches, and nuclear weapons testing. Furthermore, from Aligarh Muslim University to numerous other educational institutions, Muslims have been instrumental in shaping India's academic landscape.
We firmly believe that India is a multi-religious, multi-ethnic nation, and any attempt to impose the dominance of a single religion is unacceptable. In pursuit of narrow political objectives, the religious and cultural rights of all citizens are being systematically undermined.
Therefore, we urge the global Muslim community to raise a united voice in defense of the rights and religious freedom of Indian Muslims.
All laws that are against Muslims and humanity must be immediately abolished, and human dignity and rights must be restored. We Urge the Indian Government to Repeal the Anti-Muslim Law and Safeguard the Rights of the Muslim Community"
#DhakaUniversity students held a protest rally and human chain program in front of Raju Sculpture to protest the passage of the unjust and anti-Muslim #WaqfBill in the Indian Lok Sabha.
At the end of the program at 10:15 pm on Friday, they tore up and burned a copy of the bill.

I express my deep condolences to his bereaved family, relatives, loved ones and colleagues.
He said, "His sacrifice for the country will be remembered. I sincerely appeal to my party colleagues, students and patriotic people to exercise utmost patience in any provocation. May Allah Almighty help us."
He further said, "I call on the concerned authorities to take strict legal action against those involved in this brutal murder."
