The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) has called on the central and state governments to be vigilant in light of planned nationwide protests by the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) against amendments to the Waqf Act. The VHP also urged the Supreme Court to take cognizance of the matter.

The AIMPLB has announced a "road map" for the second phase of its 'Save Waqf Campaign', which includes a call for Muslims to close their businesses and establishments, except for medical stores, from 8 am to 2 pm on October 3. Additionally, the AIMPLB plans to organize "Waqf marches" in Delhi and state capitals on different dates.

VHP President Alok Kumar questioned the AIMPLB's motives, especially since the Muslim organizations had welcomed the Supreme Court's interim order in the matter. He described the AIMPLB's plan as a cause for concern and urged the government to closely monitor the situation to prevent any violence during the protests. Kumar also raised concerns about the potential for disruptions to law and order and social harmony.

The VHP's National Spokesperson, Vindo Bansal, stated on X that the Supreme Court should consider why parties involved in a sub judice matter are attempting to pressure the court through street protests instead of awaiting the final decision.

The Supreme Court had previously put a hold on certain provisions of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, including a clause stipulating that only those practicing Islam for the past five years could create Waqf. However, the court did not stay the entire law, citing the presumption of constitutionality.

The VHP has expressed concerns that the protests could lead to violence and vandalism, referencing past incidents during Barawafat (Milad-un-Nabi) programs earlier in September. The organization is urging restraint and has cautioned against what it describes as "Jihadi aggression" during the Waqf protests, despite the ongoing court hearing. The VHP statement quoted Alok Kumar, pointed out that the AIMPLB, the Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind, the All India Majlis-e-Mushawarat, and other organizations had described the interim order of the Supreme Court on the Waqf Act as a "victory of the spirit of the Constitution".
