The only viable solution to address the issue of the Waqf Board’s extensive control over land and properties is to dissolve the board entirely and transfer all such assets to the government.
Muslims have built a dargah very close to Murugan Temple on this hill where they want to take goats and chickens for slaughtering. There was a strong opposition by Hindus.
Seeking permission to celebrate Urs at a demolished dargah is an extreme violation of the law. How did they even dare to take this matter to the Supreme Court ?
The Sub-Divisional Magistrate ordered an inquiry into the matter. Upon investigation, the construction was found to be illegal.
This will achieve the Government’s objective of providing maximum benefits to the poor and Pasmanda (backward class) Muslims.
When the Waqf Board claims the right to any land, that land is checked with the records of 1952 and if it is found to be owned by the Waqf Board, then the Board can request the Government to remove encroachments on such land.
Despite a Court ruling that declared the hill as belonging to a Hindu temple, encroachment by Muslims has persisted, with the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) Government allowing such violations.
Local villagers and Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal strongly opposed this illegal construction. The issue was prominently raised by Sudarshan News, after which the government took action.
The slum dwellers have not only encroached on railway land, but they have also been involved in thefts, stone-pelting, and throwing balloons on people, resulting in serious injuries. These slum dwellers have become a significant headache for Mumbai’s residents.
Why did BMC not oppose when the illegal Madarasa was being constructed ? Why was it necessary for VHP to follow-up in the matter ?
