He alleged that the Act is unconstitutional and violates various provisions of the Constitution.
AIMLB will also organize human chain and round table conferences after two weeks as part of its movement, he said.
This protest will continue until the Center takes back the Act, stating that the ‘Switching of Lights’ was held as part of the ongoing movement under the AIMPLB agency.
Given that AIMIM has listened to the Pahalgam terror attack, he targeted Hindu victims after asking for his religion.
