The Telangana BJP has accused the BRS, Congress, and AIMIM of colluding to defeat its candidate as polling for the MLC seat for the Hyderabad local authorities constituency was held on Wednesday.
Kishan Reddy, who is also the BJP’s Telangana unit President, along with party MPs, MLAs and other leaders, staged the protest at Ambedkar statue near Tank Bund in the heart of the city.
The convention was attended by Muslim clerics as well as leaders of various parties with many wearing black bands on their shoulders as a mark of protest against the Waqf Amendment Act.
The meeting will be held at the AIMIM headquarters in Darussalam between 7 pm and 10 pm, and will be led by AIMPLB President Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani.
President Droupadi Murmu has given assent to the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, as announced by the Law Ministry in a notification dated April 5 (Saturday). The Bill was recently cleared by the Parliament after intense and lengthy debates in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
In the wake of KCR announcing a slew of welfare schemes for Brahmins, the AIMIM chief sounded a warning, saying, “Muslims should not be taken for granted.”
Referring to the Babri Masjid demolition, he said that Congress made a resolution of rebuilding the mosque but nothing was done.
The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader said the court used the survey as a first resort while legal experts believe that it should be the last resort.
Asaduddin Owaisi said, "It is already happening that you first give the long-term VISA and then they (minority community of Afghanistan) get citizenship."
A few Muslims noticed the gathering in the land belonging to the mosque and registered their protest. They complained that the Rai Durgam police was a mute spectator.
