New Delhi: To show solidarity with the victims of Pahalgam terror attack, All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has suspended the ongoing protest against the Waqf Act 2025.

In a statement released Wednesday the board said that the terrorist attack in Pahalgam is deeply tragic and strongly condemnable.

“Therefore, the board has decided to suspend for three days its protest against the Waqf Act 2025 launched under the Waqf Protection Campaign as an expression of mourning and sympathy for the victims' families”, AIMPLB Secretary General, Maulana Fazlur Rahim Mujaddidi, said.

The MuslimPersonal Law Board has given a nationwide protest call against the Waqf Amendment Act 2025. Accusing that the right-wing BJP government in New Delhi wants to control Muslim Waqf through the newly enacted law, the Muslim organisations are demanding its roll-back.

The matter is also in the Supreme Court of India where it has asked some tough questions to the Modi government about the controversial provisions of the act.

The Muslim Panel, however, said the Waqf Protection Campaign has been out on hold in the wake of the Pahalgam attack.

Every big and small organisations representing the Indian Muslims have issued statement condemning the latest Kashmir terror attack targeting the civilians.

The peak of the protest was seen in Kashmir itself where responding to the shutdown call people stayed away from routine activities.

Solidarity messages and condemnation statements were also relayed through the mosque loudspeakers across the Valley.

"Kashmir se awaaz aai; Hindu, Muslim bhai bhai"

The Kashmiris also opened their homes for the tourists who panicked after the terror attack. Earlier, a huge number of Kashmiris had also lined up to donate blood for those injured in the attack.

In another positive gesture in the wake of the tragedy, some tourists refused to home saying “they trust the Kashmiris and won’t go back”.

In contrast, the BJP and its affiliates are trying to communalise the attack and using the incident to polarize the country on communal line.

In a strong counter to the right wing hate propaganda, some protesters gathered at Lal Chowk in Srinagar raising slogans “Kashmir se awaaz aai; Hindu, Muslim bhai bhai” in front of the national media which was trying to give communal colour to the incident.
