Representatives of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) and members of the minority community from other States called on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu to request him to oppose Centre’s proposed amendments to the Waqf Act.

Accompanied by Naidu’s Cabinet member and Minority Welfare Minister N Md Farooq and other TDP Muslim leaders, the representatives voiced their objections to the NDA ally.

“Centre’s proposals will undermine the Waqf Board and hurt the rights and sentiments of Muslim sections,” said an official press release, quoting the representatives, who met Naidu at the secretariat.
