The Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath (TNTJ), an organization previously flagged in connection with the 2019 Sri Lanka Easter bombings, has announced plans to gherao the Raj Bhavan on 12 April 2025 in protest against the Wakf (Amendment) Bill recently passed by the BJP-led government in Parliament.
TNTJ general secretary A Abdul Rahim accused Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman of misleading Parliament on the provisions of the Bill. He alleged that the legislation was designed to facilitate the transfer of vast stretches of Wakf land to corporate allies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Abdul Rahim also expressed gratitude to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and DMK MPs A. Raja and Tiruchi Siva for vocally opposing the Bill in Parliament.
Ironically, their founder P Jainulabdeen’s video speaking in support of the Waqf Amendment Bill where he called the Waqf Board, the most corrupt institution in India and also called it a “museebat” for Muslims, went viral a few days ago.
