Protests have broken out in Manipur against the inclusion of two non-Muslim members on the state Waqf Board. The agitation centres on the board’s composition and the government’s decision to include the members.
Organisers told NDTV that further phases of the protest could be held in different parts of Manipur if the government does not reconsider the board’s composition. No decision by the government to change the membership was reported.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Waqf boards oversee the administration of properties dedicated for religious or charitable purposes, with their composition governed by the applicable legal framework. Any alteration would depend on the state government’s authority under that framework and could also face legal scrutiny if challenged. The government’s response to the organisers’ demand is the next concrete signal in the dispute.
