n a press conference on Waqf Board Bill, AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi said that a false propaganda is being spread by BJP-RSS that Waqf is a government property instead of private property. He attacked PM Modi and said that Modi government is not bringing this bill to protect Waqf Board, but instead to end the board. He said. “A false propaganda is being spread by BJP-RSS that Waqf is a government property instead of private property. The other false propaganda is being spread that the Waqf board has 9,40,000 acre of land. There are 32 states in Waqf board…and after the Army & railway Waqf board has. Just like in the Hindu religion properties are donated similarly in the Muslim religion these are donated properties. Why is the government interfering? This is violation of article 26. The Narendra Modi government is not bringing this bill to protect, develop or bring efficiency in the Waqf properties. This bill was presented to finish the Waqf board. It is written in it that a practising Muslim can perform Waqf. What is the meaning of practising Muslim? – will he be someone who reads Namaz 5 times a day, will have a beard or a skull cap. will his wife be Muslim or non-muslim? Who are they to decide? No such law is there in the Hindu religion. The Collector will make any Waqf property that is with the government its decision.”
