Muslim organizations are protesting

Javed’s petition alleged that the bill makes provisions to impose “arbitrary sanctions” on Waqf properties and their management, which will weaken the religious autonomy of the Muslim community. The petition filed through advocate Anas Tanveer stated that the bill has discriminated against the Muslim community, as it “has been restored which are not present in other religious arrangements”. Owaisi’s petition was filed by advocate Lajfir Ahmed.
