• Special lecture in Mumbai

• Allegations of Land Jihad by constructing illegal mazars at several locations

(Mazar is a tomb of Islamic pir or fakir)

Vishnu Shankar Jain, a staunch Pro-Hindutva advocate in the Supreme Court, while raising the issue

Mumbai – Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, a Supreme Court lawyer known for his legal battle for Hindu temples, expressed that there is no need for the Waqf Board Amendment Bill, as the term ‘Waqf’ is not even mentioned in the Constitution. Therefore, he stated that the Waqf Act should be completely abolished. A special lecture titled ‘Social, Cultural, and Religious Institutions: Awareness and Challenges’ was organized by Shri Matunga Kutchi Murti-Pujak Jain Shwetambar Sangh and Shri Matunga Jain Shwetambar Murti-Pujak Tapagachh Sangh on November 9^th at Matunga Central, where Advocate Jain shared his views. He urged citizens to ensure 100% voting in the upcoming assembly elections to protect the nation and religion.

Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain further stated,

1. The Waqf Board is a grave issue and has become a significant problem today. Between 2008 and 2024, Waqf properties have expanded by 1.2 million acres, suggesting misuse of the act.

2. There is an ongoing effort to target Hindus in Bangladesh. To prevent such situations in India, Hindus need to unite.

3. There is an attempt to implement ‘Land Jihad’ by constructing illegal mazars (tombs of Islamic pirs or fakirs) across various locations. However, ordinary citizens can raise their voice against this legally and file a complaint in the relevant High Court.
