The WAQF amendment law, 2025, which was approved by both Chambers of Parliament last week after two days of marathon debates, and the native of President Droupadi Murmu, entered into force on Tuesday. However, people in several states such as Western Bengal and Tamil Nadu had organized protests against legislet, arguing that he eliminates the personal rights of Muslims.
The stone launch incident occurred in the Jangipur area of Murshidabad, where a large number of people gathered to protest against the WAQF law. “The protesters threw stones at the police that were deployed in the area, after which some police vehicles caught fire,” a senior police officer told the PTI news agency.
Ti department of BJP in charge of Amit Malviya shared several videos of violence, accusing the government led by Mamata Banerje not to stop community violence in the state. “Mamata Banerje has lost control over the past regions of Bengal, which have become inaccessible to the state administration due to an antinatural demographic change and illegal infiltration. Everything that can now be Grovel in anticipation of their votes.” Said.

Hello, he also shared another video, showing the protesters who openly requested the challenge of the Constitution against the WAQF law with the songs of “I do not accept the Constitution.” Malviya claimed that the violent Islamist mafia was likely under instructions of Mamata Banerje.
“The Banerjee Mamatajee’s appeasement brand is dragging Bengal dangerously near Bangladesh’s path,” he said. “2026 will be the calculation. Mamata Banerjee’s appeasement policy will be dragged by the growing wave of Hindu awakening in Bengal.”
The WAQF amendment law aims to rationalize the management of WAQF properties (assets donated permanently by Muslims for religious or charitable purposes) with provisions to safeguard heritage sites and promote social welfare. It also seeks to improve governance improving transparency in property management, rationalization of coordination between WAQF meetings and local authorities and protecting the rights of interested parties.

The opposition parties, including Congress, vociferantly criticized the WAQF bill as “unconstitutional” and “antidemocratic”, arguing that the government was interfering with the personal affairs of the religious minorities of India. Congress also opposed the appointment of non -Muslims at the WAQF Board.
