As per report from Bengaluru, bjp National youth President and mp Tejasvi surya on friday questioned chief minister Siddaramaiah asking him if is he ‘turning karnataka into a Pakistan’ after the officers in Vijayapura district are mulling to include thousands of acres of land to Wakf board. Addressing a press conference in Bengaluru, surya said that the officials of Vijayapura district are all set to include the lands of farmers to the Wakf Board as per the directions of minister for Wakf, Minority Affairs and Housing B.Z. Zameer Ahmad Khan.Meanwhile surya said “However, there is no documentary proof of how the land belongs to the Wakf board. Siddaramaiah and minister Zameer, are you trying to make karnataka into a Pakistan”. He added that many people do not know why the central government is bringing amendments to the Wakf Act. He said “Minister Zameer visited a few districts and instructed the Deputy Commissioners to register the properties claimed by the Wakf board in 15 days. After getting instructions from the minister, the officers are changing the land records. In Vijayanagara district alone, the Wakf board is claiming 15,000 acres as its land”.Moreover he said that this is india and would run like Pakistan. He added “In the name of Wakf, the congress has committed fraud with Muslims. Wakf means the properties provided by Allah. If the Wakf board encroached land, a notice can be issued and it could be investigated. Under Section 40, the ownership could be claimed. This amendment was brought by the congress in 1995”. He had also given a call not to receive notice from the authorities.
