Whereas the protest noticed important participation, some Muslim leaders questioned AIMPLB’s stance.

Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi, nationwide president of the All India Muslim Jamaat, accused the AIMPLB of straying from its unique goal. “The Board was fashioned to handle points associated to Sharia and social evils, not for political agitation,” he remarked.

The Waqf (Modification) Invoice, 2024, which was delivered to amend the Waqf Act, 1995, was launched within the Lok Sabha on 8 August 2024. The invoice was subsequently referred to a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) for detailed examination.
