The Telangana High Court previously directed the state to register the land under the university, but officials claim legal loopholes justify the sale. Critics accuse the government of prioritizing corporate interests over education and the environment. "This land is our legacy," a protester said. Opposition parties demand the auction be halted.

The Waqf Amendment Bill has triggered protests across India. It seeks to change how waqf properties—land or assets donated for religious or charitable purposes—are managed.

Opposition leaders and Muslim groups call it an attack on religious rights. Protests have erupted in multiple cities, with demands to withdraw the bill. Legal experts warn of possible land conflicts as Parliament prepares for debate. (PC: ANI)
