NEW DELHI: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has strongly condemned the recent terror attack that happened in Pahalgam, Kashmir. The tragic incident occurred on Tuesday at a well-known tourist spot in Pahalgam, located in South Kashmir’s Anantnag district.
This heartbreaking attack led to the death of 26 innocent hindus, most of whom were tourists, and left several others injured.
After this shocking incident, the AIMPLB released an official condolence message and announced that it will temporarily stop its ongoing protest programs for three days. These protests were being held against the recent changes made in the Waqf Act, which the Board had earlier called “controversial amendments“.
To show support and sympathy to the families of those who lost their lives, the Board has decided to pause all protest-related activities for three days, starting from April 23.
The statement issued by the Muslim body clearly stated this decision:
“As a mark of solidarity with the bereaved families, the Board has suspended its campaign against the ‘controversial amendments’ to the Waqf Act for three days starting April 23.”
SQR Ilyas, who is the national convener of the Majlis-e-Amal for the protection of Waqf under the AIMPLB, also released a statement expressing grief and support.
He said,
“The terrorist attack in Pahalgam is deeply tragic and strongly condemnable.”
Showing the organisation’s concern and mourning, he further added that,
“Therefore, the Board has decided to suspend its protest programmes under the Waqf Protection Campaign for three days as an expression of mourning and sympathy for the victims’ families.”
In line with this decision, SQR Ilyas sent a circular to all state and district conveners of the campaign, directing them to immediately stop all protest and campaign-related activities during the mourning period.
His instructions were clear and meant to ensure that the whole country stands together with the victims and their families during this difficult time.
However, the Board has also made it clear that the pause is temporary, and their protest against the changes in the Waqf law will continue after this short break. Ilyas confirmed this by stating that the campaign will begin again after the three-day mourning period ends.

This thoughtful gesture by the AIMPLB shows that while they are standing firm on their cause regarding the Waqf Act amendments, they also believe in showing respect and care for human life, especially when such a heartbreaking incident takes place.
