Several Muslim associations, the joint action committee of the Congress party left the political party and others organized protests in Vizianaram on Wednesday (16 April 2025) against the WAKF Act Amendment. JAC leaders Shaik Mustafa, Habeeb Mohammed, PM Rahamtulla and others led the rally from Ambati Satram Junction to Collector’s office, covering nearly 4 km distance to protest the changes in the WAKF bill.

Mr. Khabib said the centre has been treating Muslims as secondary schools citizens while treating them with goals in every way, even though they were born in India like other citizens.
