Congress MLC Amer Ali Khan To Take Out Rallies Against Waqf Bill From Adilabad To Hyderabad
· Rally to begin on Ambedkar Jayanti from Adilabad, culminate in Hyderabad on April 15
· Congress MLC says Waqf Amendment Act undermines constitutional rights of minorities
Hyderabad, April 11: Congress MLC Amer Ali Khan will lead a two-day awareness rally from Adilabad to Hyderabad on April 14 and 15 to protest against the Waqf Amendment Act, which he has termed a serious attack on the constitutional rights of Muslims in India.
The rally, being organised under the slogan “Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan,” coincides with the birth anniversary of Dr B.R. Ambedkar and aims to highlight the danger posed by the new law to the autonomy of Waqf institutions and the fundamental rights guaranteed to Muslims under the Constitution.
Amer Ali Khan stated that the rally would begin on April 14 at 9.00 AM from Adilabad and reach Nirmal by afternoon. The convoy would then proceed to Nizamabad at 3.00 PM. On April 15, the rally would move from Nizamabad to Kamareddy at 9.00 AM and from Kamareddy to Hyderabad at 3.00 PM.
The MLC said the Waqf Amendment Act, passed by the BJP-led Central Government, was not just a legal reform but a calculated move to weaken the Muslim community by stripping Waqf Boards of their authority and placing Waqf institutions under the control of the Centre. He said the Act violated Articles 25, 26, 29, and 30 of the Constitution, which guarantee religious freedom, cultural autonomy, and the right of minorities to manage their own institutions.
Amer Ali Khan accused the Central Government of targeting the Waqf system because it represents one of the largest institutional structures of the Muslim community in India. He said Waqf properties, built over centuries through community donations and religious endowments, are now being eyed for commercial and political exploitation. He warned that the new law gives unchecked powers to the Centre and undermines the role of State Waqf Boards, leaving the community vulnerable to institutional disempowerment.
He said the Constitution of India guarantees every minority community, including Muslims, the right to preserve their religion, language, culture, and to manage their own educational and religious institutions. He said the Waqf Amendment Act is a direct violation of this constitutional promise. “What is at stake is not just Waqf – it is our identity, our heritage, our freedom. The community must not remain silent,” he said.
He chose April 14 – Ambedkar Jayanti – to begin the rally as a tribute to the architect of the Constitution, saying that Dr B.R. Ambedkar gave legal protection to minorities, and any attack on those rights is a betrayal of his legacy. He said the slogan “Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan” reflects the unity of Gandhian and Ambedkarite values, which stand for justice, equality, and religious freedom. He said the rally would remind the people of Telangana and the nation that the Constitution cannot be changed to suit one ideology.
Amer Ali Khan stated that the two-day rally would involve ground-level engagement with local communities, students, lawyers, and religious scholars in Adilabad, Nirmal, Nizamabad, and Kamareddy. He said the objective is to create mass awareness so that the community can resist this move legally, socially, and politically.
He appealed to Muslims, Dalits, backward classes, civil rights activists, and all citizens who believe in the Constitution to join hands in peacefully opposing the Act. He said silence at this moment would lead to irreversible damage. “This is not just a rally. This is a constitutional duty. The Muslim community must understand that if Waqf is taken away today, our educational, religious, and social future will be destroyed tomorrow,” he said.He stated that the rally from Adilabad to Hyderabad is only the beginning of a larger movement. He said the fight to protect the Waqf system is the fight to preserve the Constitution itself. “Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan” is not a slogan. It is a declaration that we will not surrender our rights, our institutions, or our future,” he said. (Maxim news)
