Jamia Millia Islamia students burn copies of waqf bill in fiery protest
New Delhi: A wave of anger swept through India over the approval of Waqf Amendment Bill by Indian parliament with hundreds of students Jamia Millia Islamia staging a fierce protest and burning copies of the bill to express their anger.
According to media reports, demonstrators at the university’s main gate raised slogans, delivered speeches and eventually burned copies of the bill.
The protest, led by the All India Students Association (AISA) along with several independent student voices, came in response to an “attack on the religious and cultural rights of Indian Muslims.” The Waqf Bill, which passed by the Indian Parliament, has stirred controversy among Muslim communities across the country, who see it as a direct blow to their institutions and heritage.
