Activists Protest Against Israeli Incursion And Waqf Amendment Bill In Kolkata, India

Activists from the Minority Youth Federation are marching toward the U.S. Consulate in Kolkata, India, on April 3, 2025, protesting against Israel’s military actions in Palestinian territories and expressing solidarity with Palestinians amid ongoing airstrikes. The demonstrators are condemning what they describe as the “uninterrupted bombing” of women and children in Palestine and are calling for international intervention and a protest march against the proposed Waqf Amendment Bill, arguing that it undermines minority rights. The Minority Youth Federation is demanding the bill’s immediate withdrawal, warning of continued demonstrations if the legislation moves forward. Security personnel are being deployed along the march routes, but no incidents of violence are being reported.
