Muslim Law Board condemns Pahalgam attack, pauses Waqf Act protests for three days

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on Wednesday strongly condemned the terror attack in Pahalgam and announced a three-day pause in its ongoing protests against the new Waqf law as a mark of solidarity with the victims' families. The attack, which took place on Tuesday in Pahalgam, a prominent tourist destination in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district, claimed 26 lives—mostly tourists—and left several others injured. In a condolence statement, the AIMPLB said it had decided to temporarily suspend its protest campaign against the “controversial amendments” to the Waqf Act from April 23 to April 25.
