The Telangana State Waqf Board has become the first Waqf Board in the country to formally reject the Waqf Amendment Bill 2024, recently introduced by the Central Government.

During a crucial meeting held on Monday, the board discussed the potential implications of the proposed legislation. The members expressed deep concerns, arguing that the Waqf Amendment Bill, if enacted, could significantly undermine the autonomy and functioning of Waqf institutions across the state.
