We will compel Modi govt to withdraw waqf law: Akbar
Akbaruddin Owaisi
, on Sunday called upon Muslims to unite in their fight, within the limits of the constitutional provisions, against the new central Waqf Act.
He urged them to have complete trust in Allah that they will succeed in compelling the Narendra Modi govt to withdraw the Act, which is not in favour of Muslims.
Akbaruddin Owaisi was speaking at a dharna organised by the All India Muslim Personal Law Board at Dharna Chowk near Indira Park against the new waqf law. "They think they can weaken us through this Act, which is aimed at snatching away waqf properties, but we will not allow them to weaken us.
Stand shoulder to shoulder and create a wall to face any action taken against us for protesting against the Act. We will raise our voice against injustice and will not part with our shariah, hijab, imaan, and waqf properties.
We will continue to extend full support and will participate in every protest programme against the Act, organised by AIMPLB," he said.
Referring to verses from the 'Quran', Akbaruddin told the gathering that Allah promises that he tests only those close to him.
"We should thank the Almighty for choosing us. Today, 25 crore Muslims in India are going through this test. Have faith in Allah and continue the fight democratically. Allah will give us success. Let's participate in all protest programmes against the Waqf Act under the flag of AIMPLB," he said.
AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi, elder brother of Akbaruddin Owaisi, had also participated in the AIMPLB-organised public meeting at Dar-Us-Salam against the Waqf Act on April 19. Presently, Asaduddin Owaisi is part of an all-party delegation to Algeria to expose Pakistan-sponsored terrorism to the world. India has sent several all-party delegations to show its resolve against terrorism and garner international support against Pakistan sponsoring, patronising, and training terrorists.

Justice Varma cash recovery row: Supreme Court hearing on Allahabad HC Judge Justice Varma LIVE updates on July 28, 2025
July 28, 2025 09:35 Lok Sabha to take up motion to remove Justice Varma, motion not admitted in Rajya Sabha Lok Sabha will take up a bipartisan motion to remove Justice Yashwant Varma, who is embroiled in a suspected corruption case, as the opposition-sponsored notice for a similar motion in Rajya Sabha was not admitted. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said on Friday (July 25, 2025) that it was a unanimous decision of all political parties to move unitedly in a case of perceived corruption in judiciary, asserting that Lok Sabha will take up the motion, which was signed by 152 MPs from the ruling alliance and the Opposition. Official sources said the Opposition-sponsored notice for a similar motion in Rajya Sabha, which received it on the same day when the bipartisan notice was submitted to Lok Sabha on July 21, has not been admitted. This ends speculation about the fate of the notice signed by 63 Rajya Sabha members of Opposition parties. Then Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar had mentioned receiving it in the House, alarming the government and triggering a chain of events that led to his abrupt resignation on the same night. Mr. Rijiju said all political parties had agreed that the removal of Varma should be a joint call, adding that the proceedings will be taken up in Lok Sabha and then move to Rajya Sabha in line with the Judges (Enquiry) Act. -- PTI

Off the cuff: Chennai lawyer swaps courtroom drama for haircut harmony
Thalaivaa who? When news broke of Chief Minister MK Stalin's hospitalisation last week, a former minister from the opposition took to X with a poetic post: Rise and come forth, Thalaivaa. If not you, who else do we have to fight with? The tweet, brimming with sentiment, was live barely long enough for screens to screenshot, but enough to sent tongues a-wagging. Was he following in the footsteps of ex-AIADMK MP Anwhar Raajhaa who jumped ship that very day or just having a late-night literary lapse? Either way, the ex-minister may have received a quick reminder from his party and the tweet vanished. T Muruganandham Splitting hairs A 60-year-old Chennai lawyer recently walked into court — not to argue a case, but to file one. His complaint? A judge had been using some 'harsh' language in court, and he was fed up. The lawyer vowed to quit the Bar altogether and become a barber instead. Yes, scissors over summons. The judge promised to look into it, but the lawyer said he wanted a quick cut, not a long hearing. Courtroom observers now wait to see whether this case will be settled with a gavel or a hair clipper. Gautham Selvarajan Freudian slip? While speaking about AIADMK's welfare schemes for Muslims during a speech in Papanasam, Thanjavur, general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami proudly stated that former CM J Jayalalithaa gave 5,400 tonnes of rice to mosques across the state during Ramadan and even Pakistan hadn't done that. The crowd blinked. The party blinked harder. When his speech later appeared in party mouthpiece Namathu Amma, the Pakistan bit was mysteriously missing. Coincidence? Maybe. Or just one of those slips best left on the stage and out of print. N Ramesh Tiffin trouble Chennai Metro Rail doesn't permit eating on trains or platforms — fair enough. But last week, a woman was stopped for merely carrying food. Her parcel, neatly wrapped in banana leaves and newspaper and tucked inside a black polythene bag, was rejected at the security gate. Reason? If it had been in containers, the parcel would have been allowed. Apparently, it's not about what you eat but how you wrap it. Praveena SA (Compiled by Adarsh TR)
