Shastri further remarked that many among the Islamic and Christian communities in India were originally Hindus before conversion.
Why take benefits of all schemes here and simultaneously promote the Muslim Personal Law Board ? The Waqf Board is used to grab land, and this institution only exists in India, not in any Islamic country.
It is, in fact, necessary that the Police not only keep a vigil on the speeches given in every mosque but also on the daily activities carried out there.
The farmers then went to court in August 2022. After a long hearing, finally 315 farmers got their land rights back.
The Waqf Board is trying to illegally control the land and property of the villagers of Munambam and Cherai.
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.
After Vijayapur, a discussion regarding the issue of Waqf Board’s name in the land records of Hindu farmers in Dharwad District has started.
Rather than amending the Waqf Act, it should be abolished.
The petitioners argue that Section 14 of the Waqf Act is unconstitutional, granting the Waqf Board authority to declare any trust or society property as its own.
