Amendment in Waqf Board is mandatory...?

Recently, the Waqf Board Amendment Act was introduced in the parliament by the Modi government. While on one hand there are talks of various changes in the Waqf Board and suggestions are being sought from the general public after this bill has been sent to the Parliamentary Committee, on the other hand, there is a large group which is in favour of completely dissolving the Waqf Board. However, the question arises that who has given the power to make Waqf so strong and run with a parallel system, although people are giving suggestions while following the tradition of following government procedures.

The reason is that in the current environment, it will not be possible to completely dissolve Waqf in India, because the way the tradition of creating an atmosphere of riots against every ordinance has started, it is likely to take a more dangerous form this time. Further, some such points should be discussed, which are very important according to this Act.

Waqf claims in many places

Third, there are a few special cases which need attention. Everyone knows about one of these cases. The Waqf Board has staked claim on the 1500-year-old Chandrashekhar Swamy temple in Tiruchenthurai village in Tiruchipalli, tamil Nadu. The religion to which the Waqf Board is associated was established here some 1400 years ago. That is, this temple is 100 years older than that. Hindus have been living here for many generations, they are scared of this matter being exposed suddenly. Second, look at Fatuha in Patna, Bihar. The Waqf Board has staked claim on the village. JPC member and mp from West Champaran Sanjay jaiswal reached here and found the matter to be true.

Fourth, there will have to be diversity in representation in the Waqf Board. There are 32 Waqf Boards across the country, whose management is in the hands of about 200 people. Nowadays when the opposition has started politics of caste and reservation, then representation should be in the same proportion here too. women, Pasmanda and Dawoodi Bohra Muslims, OBC, Dalits and tribal society should get representation in Waqf boards. At least half of the seats should be reserved for them. This has become not just a religion issue but a national issue, because among those who stake claim on the lands, there are many non-Muslims, non-Hindus as well, many are government lands as well. That is why, it is necessary to give place to backward people and women in the board.
