Shia cleric Maulana Syed Kalbe Jawad has fiercely criticized the procedural handling of the Waqf bill by Parliament's joint committee, labeling it a 'farce' and warning of detrimental effects on Muslim rights.

Emphasizing Waqfs' religious significance in Islam, Jawad argued that existing Waqfs require protection from the 'mala fide intentions' embedded in the legislative process.

Announcing nationwide protests, he aims to educate the public on the bill's implications, while opposition parties accuse the government of undermining Waqf boards.
