Protests break out in India over new bill that would change Muslim land endowments - Indian opposition leaders say legislation violates multiple fundamental rights of citizens

India's parliament passes a bill amending Muslim land endowments, sparking protests over concerns it undermines minority rights and could lead to property confiscation.

After hours of heated debate, India's parliament has passed a controversial bill that seeks to change how properties worth billions of dollars donated by Muslims over centuries are governed. The upper house passed the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024 early on Friday, a day after the lower house cleared it amid strong opposition criticism.
