Why do citizens have to fight against the claims of Waqf Board ? The only solution to this is the Union Government making the Waqf Board and the Waqf Act void.
The Hindu community learned that local Muslims had filed a petition to register these Hindu lands as Waqf property, sparking a clash between the two groups and culminating in a stone-pelting incident late on 30thOctober.
The devotees are asking how the muth founded in the 13thcentury became a Muslim cemetery. They have opposed vehemently and expressed anger over the transfer of 1.28 acre of property to the Waqf board.
The family members, including Suresh Teradal, had offered a small section of land for Muslim funeral rites without any formal documentation.
But does Zameer Ahmed have the courage to speak out against Tipu Sultan, who converted one lakh Hindus into Muslims in a single day ?
In the Indian context, the Waqf Act of 1995 gives the Waqf Board broad authority over Muslim religious and charitable properties. However, the law has been extensively abused. Many properties have been arbitrarily claimed as Waqf–
Minister Patil further said that the Deputy Commissioner of the District will investigate this. It will take two days to initiate action to withdraw the notices sent. Out of 1,200-acre, only 11-acre land is Waqf property.
Religious fanatics and Waqf Board are encroaching on Hindu temple lands. It is time for Hindus to unite and demand Government action against Waqf Board’s land grab.
Vice president of Hinwada Grampanchayat Sunil Shankarappa Tudeegal said it is mentioned in the notice that this land belongs to Shah Ameenuddin Dargah; but this dargah did not exist for centuries.
Government must dissolve this board and take action against those responsible for grabbing lands through it.
