Protest Against Waqf Bill | Huge Protests Across The Country Against Waqf Amendment Bill

Thousands gathered on the streets of Kolkata, Chennai, and Ahmedabad Friday - after weekly prayers by the Muslim community - to protest the Waqf Amendment Bill passed by Parliament this week.

Visuals from the Bengal capital showed a large crowd waving the national flag and carrying posters proclaiming 'we reject Waqf amendment' and 'Reject Waqf Bill' gathering at public meeting sites. Many of the protests, news agency ANI said, were organised by the Joint Forum for Waqf Protection

Visuals of the protests from Ahmedabad suggested a more charged atmosphere; a video shared by ANI showed police trying to forcibly remove elderly demonstrators squatting on the road. Police detained the chief of the state unit of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeem, or AIMIM, and 40 of its members.
