Himachal: Minority protest in Shimla over Wakaf Amendment

Shimla, Apr 30 (UNI) A peaceful symbolic protest was observed in parts of Shimla on Wednesday following a nationwide call given by the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) against the recent amendments to the Wakaf Board Act.
The Board had urged members of the Muslim community to switch off lights in their homes and mosques for 15 minutes, from 9:00 PM to 9:15 PM, as a mark of dissent against the changes in the law, which they allege undermine community rights over religious properties.
According to the report submitted by Sadar Police Station, the protest in Shimla saw mixed participation. Lights were turned off at the Jama Masjid and Eidgah located in Lakkar Bazar, signifying support for the Board's call.
