\"\"Bidar (Karnataka): Thousands of people from different faiths and all walks of life staged a massive protest in Karnataka, India, against the recently enacted controversial Waqf Act, expressing strong disapproval of the anti-Muslim legislation by the Modi regime.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Dr Abdul Qadeer, Convener of the Joint Action Committee, Bidar District, and Executive Member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), led the rally. Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Christians and Dalits were among those participating in the rally following the AIMPLB\u2019s directives.<\/p>\n

The rally began at the historic Jamia Masjid in the city and proceeded through Mahmud Gawan Chowk, Shahganj Main Road, and ended at Ambedkar Circle, where it transformed into a large public meeting. Despite the scorching heat, thousands gathered to express their concerns over what they described as a law that infringes upon religious and constitutional rights.<\/p>\n

Shops, markets, and commercial establishments across the town remained closed in solidarity. The rally highlighted a growing wave of dissent against the Waqf Act. It also called for upholding the secular and inclusive values enshrined in the Constitution.<\/p>\n

In his opening address, Dr Abdul Qadeer said, \u201cThe government\u2019s interference in Waqf properties poses a serious threat to the nation. This is not a one-day protest \u2014 it is the beginning of a continuous movement. Until the Waqf Amendment Act is withdrawn, our resistance will continue.\u201d<\/p>\n
