  • | Thursday | 19th April, 2018

This is where the Central Wakf Council’s intervention was sought to protect the said properties. They said there were instances of governments themselves taking over the properties belonging to the Wakf Boards in an arbitrary manner. Central Wakf Council member Rais Khan Pathan and BMM A.P. Irfan Ahmad and S. Munawari Begum said there were 14,500 institutions and about 65,000 acres of land under the purview of the Andhra Pradesh Wakf Board (APWB) but some of them encroached. Addressing the media here on Wednesday, Mr. Ahmad said a fresh survey was being conducted with the help of Global Positioning System (GPS) under the Wakf Management System of India (WAMSI) to pinpoint the grabbed properties to approach the courts for reclaiming the same.

more-in BJP Minority Morcha (BMM) national vice-presidents Md. Irfan Ahmad and S. Munawari Begum said there were 14,500 institutions and about 65,000 acres of land under the purview of the Andhra Pradesh Wakf Board (APWB) but some of them encroached. The matter has been taken to the notice of APWB Chairman Jaleel Khan and necessary steps are being taken to come up with the precise details of the encroachments, they said. Addressing the media here on Wednesday, Mr. Ahmad said a fresh survey was being conducted with the help of Global Positioning System (GPS) under the Wakf Management System of India (WAMSI) to pinpoint the grabbed properties to approach the courts for reclaiming the same. They said there were instances of governments themselves taking over the properties belonging to the Wakf Boards in an arbitrary manner. This is where the Central Wakf Council’s intervention was sought to protect the said properties. ‘Malicious campaign’ The BMM leaders said the BJP and its frontal organisations were instantly blamed whenever any atrocity took place on minorities in the country. It was meaningless, rather outrageous, to paint them (BJP and its entities) as directly responsible for the crimes, like the one in Kathua in Jammu district that shook the conscience of the nation. “We are not supporting our (Modi) government, if Hindus are found to be guilty, let them be given stringent punishment, but we have proof that the accused in Kathua are innocent,” they claimed. Central Wakf Council member Rais Khan Pathan and BMM A.P. President Sk. Baji were present.
