In Hyderabad, the Waqf Amendment Bill has ignited protests following Eid prayers at Saidabad Eidgah. Protesters gathered, displaying posters calling for the rejection of the bill, which they believe restricts religious freedoms and marginalizes the Muslim community. Their message also targeted prominent political figures, urging leaders like CM Nitish Kumar and CM Chandrababu Naidu to oppose the bill, which has been criticized by various Muslim groups, including the All India Muslim Personal Law Board. Meanwhile, in Sambhal, a region known for its sensitivity, Eid celebrations proceeded peacefully, despite previous tensions. The Eid prayer was conducted without any disturbances, thanks to the meticulous arrangements made by the authorities. Local residents praised the efforts of the district magistrate and police officers for ensuring security and maintaining peace. They highlighted the smooth coordination and expressed satisfaction with the calm atmosphere during Ramadan. The peaceful celebrations in Sambhal stood as a contrast to the ongoing debates surrounding the Waqf Amendment Bill, showing that harmony can prevail even amid political tensions.
