The Muslim Joint Action Committee (JAC) of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, under the banner of Tahreek Muslim Shabban, has announced a massive protest march in Hyderabad against the Centre’s recently approved Waqf Amendment Bill.

The ‘Telangana March to Rollback Waqf Amendment Act-2025’ will take place on April 26 at Dharna Chowk at 2pm. The venue for the Telangana March was finalized during the core committee meeting of the JAC held on Monday evening at the head office of Tahreek Muslim Shabban in Azampura, Hyderabad.

The meeting was attended by MBT spokesperson Md Amjedullah Khan Khaled, TPCC spokesperson Syed Nizamuddin, Minorities Finance Corporation former Chairman Akbar Hussain, Dr Toufeeq of Wahdat-e-Islami, TPCC Secretary Osman Mohammed Khan, Nazimuddin Farooqi of Muslim Chambers and other eminent personalities.

The announcement was made by JAC convenor and Tahreek Muslim Shabban president Mohammed Mushtaq Malik. He stated that people from all districts of Telangana would participate in the march, which aims to pressurize the Central government to withdraw the controversial legislation. Mushtaq Malik said the march would be bigger than the anti-CAA and NRC protests held in 2019, which were among the largest peaceful agitations in the country.

‘All political parties except the BJP, including the Congress, BRS, CPI, CPM, as well as leaders from religious institutions, educational bodies, and social organizations, are expected to join the march,’ he said.
