AISF’s Mumbai unit has called for nationwide student protests against the Transgender Protection Amendment Bill, 2026, alleging it violates constitutional rights and Supreme Court rulings. The group urged the President to return the Bill, calling it regressive and harmful to transgender dignity and equality.
Mumbai, March 27: The All India Students’ Federation (AISF) has called upon students across the country to protest against the Transgender Protection Amendment Bill, 2026, describing it as “deeply regressive” and “anti-constitutional.”
AISF criticises proposed amendment
In a statement released by its Mumbai unit, AISF strongly criticised the proposed amendment, arguing that it undermines the landmark National Legal Services Authority v. Union of India (NALSA) judgment.
The organisation emphasised that the ruling unequivocally recognised the right to self-identification of gender as a fundamental aspect of dignity, autonomy and personal liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution.
