Hyderabad Protest Against Waqf (Amendment) Act
People in Hyderabad formed a long human chain to show they don't like the Waqf (Amendment) Act.
They believe the new law isn't fair and want the government to change it.
The protest was organized by the All India Muslim Personal Law Board and supported by a political party.
Protesters held signs and chanted peacefully to make their voices heard.
The law was passed by the central government last month, but many people, including opposition parties, disagree with it and have challenged it in court.
They are worried about how the new law will affect Muslim properties and rights.
A human chain protest was organized in Hyderabad against the Waqf (Amendment) Act.
The protest was organized by the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) and supported by the AIMIM.
The protest stretched approximately two kilometers from Masjid-e-Bilal in Toli Chowki to Reti Bowli.
