Hundreds of students at Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) protested on the campus on Monday, April 7, against the recently enacted Waqf Amendment Act.
The protest was organized by a coalition of student groups, including AUSF, Fraternity Movement, Students Islamic Organisation (SIO), and Girls Islamic Organisation (GIO).

president Shaikh Mudassir condemned the Act, claiming the Union government is openly targeting Muslim properties. “We reject the Waqf Amendment Act, which is a state-sponsored assault on religious and charitable institutions of the Muslim community. By dismantling Waqf autonomy, the government is openly targeting Muslim heritage, while leaving similar institutions of other communities untouched,” he said.
