Protests Intensify in Kerala Over Waqf Land Claim; Syro-Malabar Church Shows Solidarity

Описание: Protests in Munambam, Kerala's Ernakulam district, have intensified over the Waqf Board's claim to land, with the influential Syro-Malabar Church organizing solidarity events across 1,000 churches in the state. The protests gained further momentum after Union Minister Kiren Rijiju revealed that the Waqf Board is also laying claim to significant portions of Thaliparamba in Kannur, including 600 acres in the city center. Rijiju criticized the Congress for opposing amendments to the Waqf Act, accusing them of treating Muslims as a vote bank. The issue has become a major topic in the bypolls for the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat and the Chelakkara and Palakkad Assembly segments, with Congress accusing the Left and BJP of exploiting the situation for political gain.
