Under the protest launched by AIMPLB against Waqf Amendment Act, a programme has been launched to ‘switch off lights’ from 9 pm to 9:15 pm on April 30 to register protest against the Act. “I appeal to



the people to take part in this protest by switching off the lights of their houses/shops so that we can send a message to PM Modi that this Act is a violation of fundamental rights,” Asad appealed.

The MP said that all of you give a message that this black law has been made against fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution’s Articles 14, 15, 25 and 26. “The government is interfering in the religious board of the Muslims through this Act,” he said.
